About this Event
The Valencia Baryton Project is a collective founded by Valencia-based barytonist Matthew Baker with the vision of performing the nearly 160 works written by Franz Joseph Haydn for the baryton as well as compositions by other composers, both modern and classical.
With Matthew Baker, one of only a handful baryton performers in the world, the Valencia Baryton Project have delighted audiences in sold-out concerts throughout North, Central and South America as well as Europe with what is considered to have been the pinnacle of aristocratic instruments of the classical era. Their work has been described as “delightfully inventive” (The Strad) and featuring an “exquisite chamber music playing” (Ritmo). In October of 2021, the trio was featured as the front cover article in Spain’s leading classical magazine, Ritmo.
In 2021, the Valencia Baryton Project released Naxos Records’ first ever baryton CD, launching a new series for the label. Their debut release has been described as “a superb recording” (All Music, USA), “you can’t get enough of it” (Die Welt, Germany), “a discovery for curious ears” (Online Merker, Switzerland), and “highly recommended” (Stretto, Belgium). It was included on All Music’s Favorite Classical Albums of 2021, nominated for Best Classical CD at the 2021 Carles Santos Awards and also appeared in Gramophone’s top 20 Classical charts in the UK.
