C M Artist Of The Week: Darshaan

London-based artist and producer Darshaan is our Artist Of The Week! Once he picked up his first guitar at age 11, he knew music was the road for him, gigging around Cardiff’s open mic circuit, going on to study music production at BIMM London. He played gigs at some of London’s most storied venues, with his soulful pop/R&B sound that fans of Daniel Caesar, Years & Years and Jamie Issac are sure to love. His latest single, the summery “Watercolours.” premiered on the Bobby Friction Show on BBC Asian Network, and just so happens to be our choice cut too!

Freya Parr Five essential works by Haydn

Rating: 

0

Symphony No. 103, ‘Drumroll’

Of his last dozen symphonies written for London visits, the Drumroll is an excellent introduction to Haydn’s playful style – from portentous to ebullient in a heartbeat.

Recommended recording:
Concertgebouw Orchestra/Colin Davis
Philips 442 6112

 

 

• The best recordings of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony

 

String Quartets, Op. 33

Recognised as Haydn’s finest set of string quartets, these include one nicknamed ‘The Bird’ for its birdsong-like first violin part and another, ‘The Joke’, so-named for reasons evident in the finale.

Recommended recording:
Festetics Quartet
Arcana A 414

 

 

• What are Haydn's London Symphonies?

 

Trumpet Concerto

Haydn’s genius transformed this martial instrument into an eloquent and charming soloist, both in the inspired slow movement and in the sparkling finale.

Recommended recording:
Alison Balsom; German Chamber Philharmonic, Bremen
EMI 216 2130

 

 

• The best recordings of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos

 

The Creation

Haydn’s vivid musical portrait of the Biblical creation story up to the creation of Adam and Eve is direct yet charmingly apt.

Recommended recording:
Gabrieli Consort & Players/Paul McCreesh
DG Archiv 477 7361

 

 

• The story of Haydn's Creation

 

Nelson Mass

The dramatic military-style rhythms which open this Mass reflect the Napoleonic War raging while Haydn composed. Otherwise, it’s charming and upbeat, even if the baleful opening returns in the ‘Benedictus’.

Recommended recording:
Collegium Musicum 90/Richard Hickox
Chandos CHAN 0640
