About "Haydn: Keyboard Concerto in D Major, Hob. XVIII:11: I. Vivace" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
Haydn's D-major concerto opens with a Vivace that sparkles like sunlight on moving water. Michelangeli keeps the keyboard light and springing, the orchestra answering with courtly vigor—an interplay of brightness and control, joy rendered with the precision of a clockwork bird.
