Konzert F-dur für Violine, Cembalo und Streicher, Hob. XVII/6 / Sinfonia concertante B-dur für Violine, Cello, Oboe, Fagott und Orchester, Hob. I/105

This 1981 release from the Schwann Musica Mundi series highlights Joseph Haydn’s later concertante works, specifically the Violin and Harpsichord Concerto in F major and the Sinfonia concertante in B-flat major. Produced in the early 1980s, the recording reflects the label's dedication to the Musica Mundi series, which sought to bring niche and often overlooked classical repertoire to a wider audience through high-fidelity pressings and scholarly presentation.

The Sinfonia concertante, Hob. I/105, is particularly notable for its origin in London in 1792, where Haydn composed it to showcase the virtuosity of his concertmaster and principal wind players. The pairing with the earlier F major concerto on this disc illustrates the evolution of Haydn's writing for instrumental soloists, moving from the baroque-influenced harpsichord traditions toward the sophisticated, symphonic textures of his mature classical period.
