Thomas Quasthoff’s great artistry needs no introduction. Here he follows up his much-raised Bach Cantatas recording with another project perfectly suited to his dark-hued, flexible voice. In anticipation of the forthcoming Haydn year – the 200th anniversary of the composer’s death falls in May 2009 – Quasthoff turns his attention to the Viennese master’s considerable operatic output, with an album of arias drawn from both Haydn’s comic and serious operas.

Making its Deutsche Grammophon debut on this album is the Freiburger Barockorchester, the internationally acclaimed period-instrument ensemble which regularly collaborates with Quasthoff and many other leading artists. This is music of the highest calibre. Haydn’s operatic works are a real rarity and with Thomas Quasthoff as their champion this will be one of the most unusual and intriguing albums of the year. It is a must-have for lovers of period-instrument performance, opera and baroque music – as well as for all those touched by Quasthoff’s musicianship.

The album release is timed to tie in with the first of 4 UK appearances which Quastoff will make during 2009 at London’s Barbican Centre.
