Diapason d'Or for Haydn No. 18
Our album Haydn No. 18 “Il Maestro di scuola” receives the prestigious Diapason d'Or in January.
Loïc Chahine describes the recording as follows: «Une image orchestrale d'une belle précision, avec des contours nets dont la fermeté et le mordant participent d'un relief particulièrement tonique. [...] C'est, à notre sens, ce qu'Antonini et le Kammerorchester Basel défendent et illustrent : un plaisir communicatif de jouer qui, outre la beauté, transpire l'amour que tous semblent porter à cette musique.»
(An orchestral image of beautiful precision, with sharp contours whose firmness and bite contribute to a particularly invigorating sound. [...] In our opinion, this is what Antonini and the Basel Chamber Orchestra defend and illustrate: a contagious joy in playing which, in addition to beauty, exudes the love that everyone seems to have for this music.)
Available on all popular streaming platforms or on CD.
Ticketing holidays
