More Details on Haydn Edition Vol.1: Symphonies, Piano Concerto, Sinfonia Concertante
On Symphonies 6,7 & 8:
‘This music making bursts with vitality… the recording is as vivid as the playing…' - Penguin Guide 2008
'As usual, though, Harnoncourt is never bland or predictable… In sum, these are readings of imagination, individuality and occasional eccentricity…’ - Gramophone
On Symphonies 30, 53 & 69:
‘All three performances here are quite splendid, with outstandingly brilliant music-making that makes an unanswerable case for playing Haydn on period instruments. The recording is first class.’ - Penguin Guide 2008 4 stars
‘This latest in Harnoncourt's Haydn series with his Viennese period-instrument orchestra offers three brilliant, extrovert pieces… the augmented scoring is undeniably effective, enhancing the symphony's jubilant, celebratory spirit… and Harnoncourt, using a fair-sized string band, gives a splendidly vivid, sharp-edged performance…’ - Gramophone
On Symphonies 31, 59, & 73:
‘This is one of Harnoncourt’s very best records. All three symphonies are notable for their spectacular horn parts. The playing here – using natural horns – is superb…’ - Penguin Guide 2008 4 stars
On Symphonies 68, 93 & 100:
‘Harnoncourt’s original 1986 pairing of Nos.68 & 100 was apt, for both works are characterized by sharp, vivid effects, which are obviously relished… No.93 is one of Harnoncourt’s most convincing Haydn performances.’ - Penguin Guide 2008
