"These wonderful recordings of the Haydn symphonies are a testament to the value of using authentic instruments in the performance of music of the classical era--provided they are played by virtuosi directed by an inspired leader, as here. The texture is clearer, the rhythmic momentum greater, and the tonal color more pleasing than was ever possible on 19th century-style instruments. I think Haydn himself would have been awed by these recordings had he been able to hear them.Be sure to snap up the Hogwood/AAM recordings while you can, by buying used or perhaps on German Amazon. Hogwood and his band have been treated shabbily by their recording company, which has discontinued the albums almost as soon as they were released. Indeed, the future of the series is apparently in doubt--a huge shame; after all, Haydn got better with age, and the missing five volumes promise to be the very best. Let's hope the AAM can find a way..."
