    Haydn: 4-8 June

    There may be little that is new to most members of the Forum, but familiarity never breeds contempt when it comes to Haydn’s music.

    [ed] Please can a/the host correct the spelling in the title!!

    What happens if you (and also I) delete the posts, and then you put up a new corrected version?

      I tried but couldn’t do it. There doesn’t seem to be delete button when it is a new thread.

        I think Haydn's symphonies mean as much to me as any other composer. I have quite a few on CD and find they fit any of my moods - I would hate to be without them.

          Just played the g minor Symphony (No 83): gloriously inventive and life-affirming.

            Especially the very opening has ear-worm qualities (for me at least, that is)

              ...and No.83's slow movement has often been "somewhere in the back of my mind" for years, emblematic of serenity and beauty, things often so hard to find ...

                If I ever have to retreat to a desert island with just one composer, it'll be Haydn.

                  I usually only catch the last part of COTW in anticipation of the performance on 3 which is to follow and to check my recorder settings, but this week I have found almost nothing to interest me in the latter and have started to listen attentively to what has been a most satisfying musical experience - a reminder, if you like, of the genius of `Papa` Haydn.

                  We hear so much (deserved) praise for the quartets of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert but, for me, the Haydn quartets are beyond compare - they set the standard for others to follow and I'm surprised that we hear so little of Haydn's chamber works on Radio.

                  Let's have more, please Auntie and also a few more symphonies on "Live on 3"- there are over a hundred to choose from!

                    As well as the great works (including the wonderful piano trios) there are all sorts of weird and wonderful things; the early divertimentos, the scherzi, the notturni for the King of Naples ... and so much unlikely invention

                    FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN [1732-1809]Concerto for two lyre-organizzate, two violins, two violas, two horns, violoncello and double bass in C major n. 1 (Hob. VII h:...

                      Am I the only music lover who prefers Haydn to Mozart?

                        I prefer Haydn to Mozart - or, often with Mozart it's admiration at a distance whereas with Haydn it's like he's close by.

                          I hope I don't have to make a choice! When I'm listening to Haydn, it's not only impossible to think of anything more wonderful, it's impossible to consider anything other than the Music to which I have the privilege to be listening. Same with Mozart.

                            COTW at its best this week. More live Haydn on R3? If only, and we get a measly 30mins at the 2012 proms, but is Haitink and the VPO.


                            Talking of symphony 83, what's the recommendation for recordngs of the "Paris Symphonies" ?

                              OAE/Kuijken for me - absolutely superb, and a set I often return to.
