    Let's not forget the delightful organ concertos, which never fail to bring a smile to my face. Ton Koopman has made some nice recordings of them.

      These days I like Christine Schornsheim's set very much. Well played and recorded on a wide range of appropriate instruments.

      EDIT: Your enthusiasm is shared by the Amazon reviewers - and it's a far from expensive set (much cheaper than the download)!

        I love the Variations in F minor. I usually love Brendel in Schubert, Liszt and Haydn, but have two versions of the variations from him, both disappointing (rather plain, just a play-through): they are both live, from the last concerts, and an 80s one from Salzburg.

        Better is Hamelin on Chandos: has the aliveness and delight in the wonderful keyboard writing that the music so asks for.

        Best, for me, is Sviatslav Richter in Munchen in 1992: every note is alive, the changeableness and range of feeling all totally absorbing.

        Anyone else know first-rate performances of this masterpiece? I know there is a Rubinstein that I had once on LP, and I'd like to hear a fortepiano version too.

          I have always had very good service from la-chaumiere_uk, so would suggest you try the "Used - Very Good" route at ÂŁ18.63 including UK p&p.

          By the way, she has also recorded all the extant Haydn keyboard concertos:

            ... thanks, Bryn. An order for the London Haydn Qtt is in preparation

            For the piano works my first choice wd be Schornsheim : but I also like ( a lot ) Staier, Brautigam, van Oort, and Beghin. Hamelin is fun, too.

            For the symphonies - so many marvellous choices. Bruggen, Weil, Kuijken, Pinnock, Goodman...

            For the Masses I prefer Weil or Hickox to JE Gardiner...

            The operas - the Dorati are a bit leaden to my ears. There are a good Armida and Orlando Paladino with Harnoncourt, and a lovely Orfeo ed Euridice with Hogwood.

            Weil's Creation and Kuijken's Seasons both very enjoyable.

            The piano trios - I was brung up on the Beaux Arts, and still love them - but wd now choose Trio 1790 or the van Swieten trio.

            Lindberg has done an excellent CD of the lute/strings works.
            Haydn Sinfonietta Wien / Manfred Huss - a good six CD box of of the notturni, baryton octets, concerti a due liri

            ... don't forget Christophe Coin w Quatuor MosaĂŻques - divertimenti per baryton & notturno per lire organizzate.

            ... then there all the baryton trios

                My absolute favourite recording of some Haydn masses is this two CD set from the vintage AAM/L'Oiseau Lyre period. The boys voices from Christ Church Oxford are glorious, and the recording location (St Jude's, Hampstead) is warm and resonant. Very strongly recommended.

                  Their recording of op. 33 is due for release in June.

                    Excellent news!

                    I see that they played a few movements from theOp. 33 set on In Tune last may:

                    Presented by Sean Rafferty. Including the Vienna Piano Trio performing in the studio.

                      Haydn: Divertimentos for Wind

                      Not exactly top drawer Haydn but still hugely enjoyable - especially at this price.

                            Hey, Vints, I can't believe you didn't have those AAM masses on your shelves! I think possibly my number one favourite AAM recordings. I envy you, you have those to discover.

                                I am never too keen on Haydn's St Qts. But the later symphonies I do rather like. There's some recordings there I might have to acquire, at some point!
