BaL 26.04.14 - Haydn Symphony no. 101 "Clock"

[Die Fledermaus]

Thank you very much. I have purchased it and due to wonderful Autorip, I am now enjoying listening to it already.

Um. what, exactly, is it that you have purchased. There are a few recordings mentioned in this thread.

[MickyD]

There is a fine 9 CD set with Trio 1790 on cpo, currently very cheap on jpc.de.

The Van Swieten Trio on brilliant is also very good.

The Beaux Arts set on philips, recorded in the 1970s, is how I first got to know and fall in love with these marvellous works - to my ears they now sound a little heavy, without the light touch and sparkle that the more Historically-Informed approach of Trio 1790 and the Van Swietens brings.

But they are great works - certainly a "must have"!
.

I have the Brilliant set, Vinteuil and like it very much. But I still haven't got round to purchasing the other Brilliant must-have you told me about, the complete Baryton Trios. They are still on my list, I promise!

[MickyD]

...having reminded myself of that complete set of the Baryton Trios, I have just found the 21 disc set for £18 on Amazon and snapped it up!

Oh Sorry - The Beaux Arts set of the Piano Trios.

Thanks very much for this information. I have ordered 4 CDs of the later trios from JPC at €2.99 each. Two single discs and a double disc. €5.99 P&P total €14.96. I think that's a nice price, but it'll be a false economy because the complete set was only €29.99 plus p&p, and no I doubt I'll want the earlier trios at some stage.

When I listen to the symphonies, I think he was even better than Mozart in that area. So much wit, grace and charm.

[Flosshilde]

Perhaps we should let Haydn have the last word on Mozart:

'Before God and as an honest man I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name; he has taste, and, furthermore, the most profound knowledge of composition.'

I'm assuming he knew himself both in person and name

Haydn was, reputedly, extremely modest.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

When I listen to the symphonies, I think he was even better than Mozart in that area. So much wit, grace and charm.

On the other hand, I cannot think of any symphony that is "greater" than Mozart's 40th.

[Sir Velo]

On the other hand, I cannot think of any symphony that is "greater" than Mozart's 40th.

I would say the last four of Mozart go further expressively than any of Haydn's. Haydn's symphones are, OTOH, almost endlessly inventive and a sheer joy. No need to stint ourselves with one or the other.

[verismissimo]

Gosh that COE/Abbado first movement Presto... so good!

[Thropplenoggin]

Ah, Norrington! Ah, humandante!

With apologies to Herman Melville.

No Sir Colin Davis yet?

I have the Colin Davis set but the Abbado looks tempting!
