Editorial Reviews
Album Description
This remarkable recording showcases Haydn's first set of German songs – some of which Haydn himself was known to sing. In this complete recording of Book One, soprano Andrea Folan and fortepianist Tom Beghin make a stellar recorded debut.

Haydn's great cantata, Arianna a Naxos, is a test of any soprano's dramatic abilities, the composition laden as it is with musical depiction. Rage, despair, violence and hope are all given their due in Folan's performance. Vocal fans take note of this release!

Introducing two young artists of uncommon gifts: Andrea Folan's liquid soprano possesses superb flexibility and diction. Her ability to get to the core of Haydn's work marks her as a communicator of rare depth. In these recordings, both artists take a musicianly approach to the performance of these strophic songs, ornamenting both accompaniment and vocal lines. In a most natural manner their infectious alterations serve as both variation and text painting. Period instrument fans and Haydn-buffs alike take note!

5 out of 5 stars What a voice...........1998-12-27

Andrea Folan has one of the most gorgeous voices I have ever heard....it's full of warmth and caresses each note so effortlessly. Between her and Thomas Behgin, each lied is presented with much though and flawless execution.
