C. Hogwood, Handel’s Opera, Live on 3 Wednesday

[Pegleg]

It was great to hear Hogwood back at the helm of the AAM - reminded me of all those wonderful vintage L'Oiseau Lyre recordings he did. I've almost given up hope of his Haydn symphony cycle ever being completed.

Yes, a great great pity that it is not complete. http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/adv...hogwood&page=2

What do you reckon of his Mozart recordings?

Pegleg - I am absolutely stunned that Decca, having pulled the plugs on the AAM/Hogwood cycle, could rub salt into the wound by issuing an only three quarters complete box set of it! Who on earth is going to invest in such a set?

As for Hogwood's Mozart recordings, I love them...I have very fond memories of collecting the Mozart symphony cycle as it came out on LP, and being thrilled by all those revelatory sounds.
