Info for Haydn: Violin Concertos (Remastered)

French chamber orchestra founded in 1953 by Jean-François Paillard under the name Ensemble Instrumental Jean-Marie Leclair, it was renamed in 1959. The ensemble is specialized in the Baroque repertoire and consists of 12 strings and a harpsichord, the position of first violin being hold by Huguette Fernandez until 1969, then by Gérard Jarry.

Following the rebirth of the Erato label in 2013, The Erato Story provides a retrospective of the label's landmark recordings from the years between 1952, the year Erato was founded, and 2003, when it ceased operation for ten years. In its first three decades, Erato had a particular focus on French music and French artists. Although Erato diversified over the 50 years covered by this collection, it maintained a distinctive focus on French music and on Baroque repertoire; these emphases are reflected in this collection.

Gérard Jarry
(Châtellerault, 6 June 1936 – Saint-Eliph, 18 January 2004) was a French classical violinist. In June 1951, he won the "Premier Grand Prix" at the Concours-Long-Thibaud, at the age of 14. In 1959, he founded the String Trio French, alongside Serge Collot and Michel Tournus.

In 1969, he joined Jean-François Paillard's Chamber Orchestra as concertmaster. He was part of the orchestra for thirty three years, during which he recorded Baroque and classical concertos, including the complete concertos of Jean-Marie Leclair, recorded in 1977 and won several major record awards; concertos by Haydn in 1973; Mozart in 1976; and Bach in 1978. In total, with Jean François Paillard, he produced more than 150 recordings (including fifty where he acted as soloist) and has performed in more than 2,500 concerts on five continents.

He was a professor at the Conservatoire de Paris, and trained several generations of artists, some leading an international career.
