Outstanding accounts!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Volume one of the Brüggen's Haydn "London" symphony cycle includes Symphonies 93, 94, 97, 99, 102 and 103, on two generously filled discs. Brüggen and the Orchestra of the 18th Century performed these live in concert. But don't be worried about audience noise, for it's obvious the listeners were "in the moment" and were respectfully attentive throughout. Also, the sound quality is very good. Brüggen's band uses period instruments, which make their unique voices heard both generally and in many special moments. These are all outstanding accounts. Orchestral playing under Brüggen is always thrilling and highly eventful, and consistently more exciting and spontaneous.

I'm a big fan of Colin Davis' recordings of these very works, but after doing the "side by side" comparison, I feel Brüggen's have more life to them. Like his Beethoven cycle, these are highly recommended."
