    1871 was the year the RAH opened! Don't know how many concerts HvK conducted there!

These are also on Amazon Unlimited if anyone subscribes to that, so it's possible to sample before taking the plunge for the Flac downloads. I couldn't see these on Qobuz, though the complete Haydn is there.
      "complete Haydn"? If you are referring to the Brilliant Classic edition, while offering a good chunl of Haydn's output, it is not complete, not even in the expanded version issued last year.

        No - I was thinking of the "complete" Pinnock Haydn symphony set which I spotted on the Presto site - and it's also on Qobuz. I noted your update on the Brilliant set - and like you I have earlier versions, so I'm not buying again.

          Another reason I will not be getting the revised Haydn Edition is that I have the Alan Hacker discs of the Nocturnes, the Dorati recording of L’Anima del Filosofo, and got the complete Buchberger quartets box at a bargain price.

            or the Stagione/Schneider



            might be more fun than the Dorati...

              The former of which I do in fact have, listed on the box under its ossia title, the box being the Oiseau-lyre "Classical and Early Romantic", which I got mainly for the Malcolm Binns Beethoven sonatas. Also, my memory served me wrong. I don't have the Dorati, he seems not to have recorded it for the the Philips Haydn Operas series/boxes. Good job I have the Hogwood then.

                I really wish that Decca would issue those Malcolm Binns Beethoven sonata discs in a single box...I have pretty much all the Classical and Early Romantic stuff in the rest of the big L'Oiseau Lyre box. I still have the original LP boxes with all the wonderful notes.

                    I tried to buy it, but the price mysteriously transmuted to 136.99€. Hmm!

                      That is disappointing!

                            Unfortunately, I was an earlyish adopter of QOBUZ, and switching from a French to English account is not that easy. They say it can only be done on the anniversary of its initiation. However, as they are now under newer management since I last asked, perhaps they have become more flexible. I will have another go at getting switched.

                              I was originally on a French account but I opened an English one using a different email address

                                I managed to nab this one this morning. The files are 24 bit but the sample rate is 44kH not 96Kh. Unless I have missed a trick somewhere.
