Overview of the Paris symphonies.......2007-06-27

Franz Joseph Haydn could be called the father of the symphony. He composed 108 of them in his lifetime. The latter symphonies fall into two groups, the London and Paris symphonies, and refer to where he was residing in when he composed them. This 2-disc set contains all the Paris symphonies, are they are typical of works from this era of classical music; beautifully orchestrated with minimal evocative effects or emotional gusto. The sound quality is great though, along with the recording. For fans of classical music, this is a good buy for under $10.

No Need to Look Further!.......2007-03-17

There are commendable period instrument sets of the 'Paris' symphonies available - Bruggen(Phillips) with the Orchestra of the 18th Century who has the most romantic view of the works, Roy Goodman(individual discs from his complete set on the budget Hyperion Helios)with the Hannover Band and Kurt Weil. Kuijken's, without doubt, is the one to have. Superb sound, plenty of panache and drama. He has spent many years as a Hadyn interpretor and this is in evidence throughout all 6 symphonies. Smart tempos and clean cut phrasing is effectively coupled with poignant delicacy in the slow movements. The hapsicord is never obtrusive and all departments of his fine orchestra excell themselves.
The symphonies, written in 1785-6 for the renowned Concert del la Loge Olympique, are a triumph of the classical symphony. So are these performances!

Thank heaven ..........2007-01-01

My daughter purchased this for my birthday last year. Knowing that I admire Haydn, she searched Amazon and took confidence in the all positive reviews. Well, I thank my daughter and the other reviewers -- this is truly a collection to own.

Cleansing the Palate.......2006-10-16

Haydn's symphonies are refreshingly clean, natural, unpretentious and in general a welcome palate cleanser for the concertgoer despite the preference for the dramatic or the grand or the edgy contemporary fare. Such is certainly the case for the so-called Paris symphonies (Nos. 82 - 87), models of elegance and refinement.

Case in point: at a recent concert with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the opening work was the Haydn Symphony No 82 - at first a seemingly odd choice for a program that was to include the local premiere of a commissioned Viola Concerto by Brett Dean and a celebration of Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. But hearing Haydn in this context provided that reminder that Papa Haydn started it all!

This CD with Sigiswald Kuijken conducting the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment traverses all of the Paris symphonies with aplomb. The quality of interpretation is immaculate, the sound of the recording is superb, and in general this is one of the finest 'sets' of these symphonies available today. It is an utter joy to listen to all of the works in one sitting, or to place them as aperitifs through the listening day. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, October 06

A gorgeous new set!!!!.......2005-01-30

A beautiful set at a cheap price of Haydn's Paris Symphonies! Symphonies 84 and 87 particularly sparkle and the comic effects are fully exploited in 82 (The Bear) and 83 (The Hen). I compared this set to the Karajan and legendary Bernstein. This new set is fresh and lively, also because of period instruments. Bravo!!!

Lively, Fresh Performances of these Great Haydn Symphonies.......2006-09-12

I am quickly coming to the realization that Haydn is one of the most overlooked composers in the history of Western music. His music is complex, lively, nuanced, always imaginative, and very humane. These performances of his "Paris" symphonies are wonderful; they are lively, fresh, warm and animated. They were recorded well and the Academy of St. Martins in the Fields does an excellent job of capturing the dynamic beauty of these symphonies. The orchestra sounds rich and deep, but not with a heavy and overbearing feel. The loud parts are not "harsh," and the quiet parts are not too quite so that you have to turn up the volume to hear it. I listen to these CD's frequently and I highly recommend them.

Exploring the Haydn Symphonies -- the Paris Symphonies.......2005-03-11

Haydn's set of six "Paris" Symphonies, no. 82 --87, composed in 1785 -- 1786 represent a turning point in his career. Up to that time, Haydn had composed for the Esterhazy family. He was employed in the magnificent Esterhazy palace as the court composer. But his works had been circulated widely throughout Europe, and he enjoyed a great reputation as a composer. Thus, in 1784 the board of directors of the Concerts de la Loge Olympique, Paris, asked Haydn for six symphonies. This set is the result.

The Paris symphonies are larger more complex works than Haydn's earlier symphonies for the Esterhazy court. They use a variety of forms, explore many moods, make extensive use of winds and brass, and display a self-confidence and self-mastery that remain a revelation to hear. Yet, Haydn developed slowly and carefully as a composer. It is inspiring to remember how these symphonies were the outgrowth of Haydn's long years of development of the symphonic form.

I have been listening to many of Haydn's earlier symphonies on Naxos, but turned to this set on Phillips by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields conducted by Sir Neville Marriner for the Paris symphonies. This is an outstanding compiliation, radiant, lively, and full of attention to detail. There are competitors to this CD, including low-priced disks, but you will not go wrong with this set.

Of the six Paris symphonies, three have nicknames, for better or for worse: the "Bear" no. 82, the "Hen" no. 83, and the "Queen" no. 85. The symphony no. 82 is a festive, joyful work with a great deal of brass, flute, bassoon and tympani enlivening the opening movement. The second movement is a set of variations, while the third movement is a stately minuet with a whimsical trio. The dancing "bear" appears in the finale in a drone in the lower strings.

The g-minor symphony, no.83, the only one of the set in a minor key, opens in a severe, serious manner its nickname of "hen" notwithstanding. The nickname derives from a theme in the oboe in the first movement. The slow movement is mostly serene and peaceful but takes a dramatic turn in the middle while the minuet is flowing and graceful. The finale is in the major key, and is lively and humorous in the style of a round.

The symphony no. 85, "La Reine" in B-flat major probably remains my favorite of this set. It opens with a slow introduction followed by a lively, graceful theme. Note how Haydn uses a rising scale figure both in the introduction and in the body of the movement. The second theme of the opening movement is based on the first movement of Haydn's earlier "Farewell" symphony. The second movement of "La Reine" is a theme and variations on a French folk song, while the third is a minuet, both graceful and regal. The finale, is a rapid triumphant vivace.

The symphony no 84 in E-flat also has a solemn slow introduction, featuring the horn followed by a quick light opening movement. The slow movement is based on simple variations of a sinuous theme stated in the lower strings. The third movement is a stately minuet which flows seamlessly into the trio, while the finale, vivace, brings the work to a galant close.

The symphony no. 86 in D is, together with "La Reine" the masterwork of the set. Haydn's sketches of this work survive and show the effort he put into the seemingly smooth surface of this symphony. The work begins with a lengthy slow introduction followed by a brisk allegro and a lyrical second theme. Haydn makes extensive use of winds in the symphony. The second movement bears the unusual marking "cappricio." It is in free-form and is serious in character. The minuet is rather uptempo with a trio that features a solo for the bassoon and is like a little dance. The Haydn scholar Karl Geringer has described the finale of this work as an "Italian opera buffa". "A musical comedy" he writes "with its flirtatous girl, its miserly old bachelor, and hilarious disguises seems to come to life in this amusing piece." (Geringer, "Haydn" at 300)

The final work of the set is the symphony no. 87 in A. The opening movement is in a galant, busy style. The lovely second movement features solo passages for flute, bassoon, and oboe. The stately minuet again features the use of winds in the trio while the finale begins quietly and works up to a big close.

These symphonies are great works of music and exemplify Haydn's hard-won maturity and success as a composer. Both the listener new to classical music and the lifelong music lover will treasure these performances.

An absolute must-have........2002-03-04

These six symphonies, collectively called "Paris", are actually the first six which Haydn wrote to be played at the d'Olympique, with 88 - 92 following. (No. 92, "Oxford", is stylistically more often associated with the first "London" set, but was actually written for Paris.) I've owned this recording for about three years and it is one to which I often turn. The sound quality is remarkable for an analog recording, the tempi feel "just right", and the playing is superb. The Symphony no. 85 is particularly good here, with its powerful introduction and first movement, recalling the French Overture style, but with a difference (isn't that always the case with Haydn?): Here, Haydn injects the theme from his "Farewell" Symphony as a lead-in to his second subject set and to great effect! (Ironically, this was the favorite symphony of Marie Antoinette, someone to whom history would soon be bidding farewell...did Haydn know something?) Marriner makes the most of this and many other delicious moments in all these works. The wind playing is subtle, yet beautiful during solo sections and there is plenty of sound coming from the cello/bass/bassoon sections (which is often overlooked and underplayed in recordings of music prior to Beethoven). Overall, I prefer the sound and interpretation of this recording (and other Marriner/St. Martin recordings) to many of the heavy, ponderous recordings by modern symphony orchestras and to all of the shrill, glassy, deliberately thin-sounding recordings with "unmusical-because-we-know-better" interpretations made by period instrument groups.
I highly recommend this recording to anyone who enjoys music of this period and especially to those who love the beautiful, witty, and soulful Franz Joseph Haydn.

Haydn at his very best.......2001-12-14

I have been a big Haydn "fan" for many years. Calling the music "beautiful" would be a gross understatement. I was particularly impresed by the less famous symphonies 84,86 and 87. When you write 104 symphonies, some might think the individual value of one symphony tends to decrease and some repetitions might occur. This is not the case with Haydn. Each piece has its own distinctive uniqueness. Every single piece on this CD (and by Haydn in general) is a masterpiece.
These 2 CDs are possibly some of the best Haydn recordings ever made. Sir Neville Mariner is doing a fabulous job and the orchestra is respnding superbly.
Technically - although the original recording is analog (and yes, there is some audible noise from the analog tape), the studio guys managed to keep the noise at an acceptable low level without inducing that boombox-like sound of over-processed tracks.
Overall, a must have for Haydn fans. Definitely 5 stars.

Lovely music, but that's not all you hear . . ........2000-11-02

These are beautiful and uplifting pieces. The sound is wonderful, but on the third track of the first CD (Symphony 82, Menuet), one can hear someone audibly keeping time ("and five" or something like that). Aside from this, a good buy.

Haydn's large-scale "Paris" Symphonies have had many fine performances on CD, both singly and in sets, including Leonard Bernstein's vigorous version for Sony. But Harnoncourt's is as good as any and better, far better, than virtually all the competition. His interpretations dance with energy and pointed rhythms, teem with details often left unheard elsewhere, and display tempos that always seem inevitable and right. He exploits Haydn's humor to great effect in the finale of the "Poule" Symphony (No. 83) and brings out the ingenuity and variety of Haydn's fertile imagination. Harnoncourt also observes all repeats, which add to the stature of the works by expanding their size, scope, and grandeur. Not least among the set's many attractions is the playing of the Concentus Musicus Wien, worlds away from their raw-sounding early explorations of the Baroque. Here, their polished playing is full of marvelous wind solos, brilliant brass, and cutting horns to go with the fine strings. Haydn would have loved this set! --Dan Davis

Customer Reviews:

Brash and Loud.......2005-10-31

This set has received many glowing reviews. Here is the other side, from someone who likes many, but not nearly all, HIP (historically informed performance) approaches to music. I found this set too loud, too brash, and utterly lacking in charm, grace, subtlety, and beauty of tone. Yes, Haydn has often been over-refined in other performances, robbing the music of Haydn's joyous wit and interesting textures. However, to my ears, this set goes way overboard in the other direction. I could recommend this only to those who are firmly in the HIP camp and who value excitement and verve above all else and who therefore don't think Haydn should be at all subtle, dry, or easy on the ears.

Move Over, Lenny!.......2005-07-28

This is an extraordinary set of "Paris" symphonies by Haydn performed by Nick Harnoncourt and his Concentus Musicus Wein. The only recordng in my collection up until this point was the old NYPO with Lenny. It is comprised of three CDs with two symphonies on each. Why? Nick honors ALL the repeats. The result is more than three hours of music. But Nick manages to make it interesting. None of the performances feel long-drawn-out. And I heard things I never heard before, so for me there was a new sense of discovery. I took a gamble in getting this set because Nick can be an erratic interpreter when it comes to Haydn or Mozart. But this set is a homerun. Concentus Musicus Wein plays with polish, clarity and precision. The woodwinds are especially luscious.

You cannot go wrong with Dorati.......2004-12-23

Antal Dorati's legendary traversal of the Haydn symphonies was for many years the only complete set (by one conductor and orchestra) of the symphonies. Today, although there are some other complete sets as well as many great period performances, Dorati's cycle still reigns supreme. Dorati manages to make these works still sound fresh and vibrate after two hundred years. There is a level of spontaneity, as well as an ever obvious sense of joy that make the Dorati traversal the best. It may seem like hyperbole, but Dorati is as close as you will get to "perfect" when it comes to Haydn.

In this CD, the popular "Paris" symphonies are glowing showcased. Although these performances were recorded in the 70s, the sound is crystal clear. I strongly suggest buying this CD not only for the fantastic music but also for the chance to become acquainted with Dorati. Soon you will find yourself purchasing the complete 33 disc set.

Haydn and Dorati - A Legendary Combination.......2003-07-03

One of the great feats in all recorded music is Antal Dorati's complete set of Haydn's Symphonies with the Philharmonia Hungarica made during the 1970s, and currently available as a 33-CD set. But if you are like me and can't quite bring yourself to spend that kind of money on a box set (one of these days though!), why not settle on this Double Decker title in the meantime. This two-for-the-price-of-one CD set, along with the Penguin Classics disc with three of the London Symphonies (see my review), are the only Haydn-Dorati Symphony performances currently available domestically. And if you could care less about Dorati and the legendary value of these recordings, and are just looking for a good Haydn CD, then this is for you too. The "Paris Symphonies" are among the most famous of all 104 numbered Haydn Symphonies, and these particular performances are equal to others I own by Bernstein, Ansermet and Karajan among others. In all, this is a great title to buy, or at the very least, to keep a space warm for that box set!

Another monument in the history of recording, this is the only set of Haydn symphonies that ever reached completion, and the performances are generally so good as to bear comparison with many of the best individual performances. The music itself is astounding--107 symphonies, all of them good, many of them shattering masterpieces. Haydn invented the Classical style, which, along with the contributions from his friend Mozart and his student Beethoven, became the standard by which all future music was measured. At a budget price, owning this set is like being able to have your own authentic copy of the "Mona Lisa" for a couple hundred dollars. Awesome! --David Hurwitz

Customer Reviews:

A superb milestone.......2007-05-01

Antal Dorati's pioneering, complete cycle of Haydn's symphonies is a milestone in recording history. Here it is incarnated on 33 CDs. What you get are outstanding, superb performances. The orchestra - Hungarica Philharmonia - is just wonderful, and the interpretations are remarkable in their attention to detail and structure. In addition, the Decca analogue sound has never been better than here. The booklet is also excellent.

Dorati's pioneering efforts included also the Haydn operas, which recently have been collected and released in two boxes from Philips, and the 24 Minuets (Decca).

What about the competition, then? Adam Fischer's Haydn project on Nimbus offers also a complete cycle, now on Brilliant Classics at a bargain price for a very big box with 33 CDs and a brief booklet. Well, for one thing, Dorati's set is the classic cycle. Further, Dorati's readings are less extravagant than Fischer's - and in my view preferable. The sound is also better in the earlier Dorati set: a warm analogue sound in contrast to Fischer's chilly, all-digital sound, which also is very uneven. But Fischer's Haydn is less expensive: you can get his cycle for less than $100 from second-hand dealers. Despite that, Dorati's cycle should be your first choice. Moreover, if shelf space is an issue, the Dorati box is one inch slimmer and a half inch less tall.

Furthermore, there are selections of symphonies from Jochum (DG) and Scherchen (DG), of which I hold the latter in higher esteem due to its idiosyncrasy. In retrospect, however, Dorati's complete cycle has a unique classic status and is as such unchallenged. Thus I warmly recommend it as a part of the foundation of your collection in addition to Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mahler, and Mozart symphony cycles, because this is delightful music that will last for a lifetime on a desert island.

[Note: this box is available brand new at amazon.co.uk, for £98.87.]

For the sheer pleasure of them all...........2006-11-11

In the mid seventies, my father purchased all of what had been released of this cycle on vinyl LP. As vinyl goes, the London discs were first rate, and a prized possession.

I lost the vinyl collection during a move in the mid 80's. It was an emotional impact; I had cherished them as a child, and as a gift, irreplaceable.

This release is true to my memory, and now I have the entire cycle.

I've performed many of these in various orchestras and loved them all.

There's a fresh energy to the performances, and an elegance to the collection quite rare and delightful.

As a set, it's actually quite affordable considering it's under $6 per disc, or under $2 per symphony.

Antal Dorati's Claim To Fame.......2005-10-14

If it wasn't for this massive recording project, Hungarian-born conductor Antal Dorati would not have been acknowledged as a first-classconductor at a time when such giants as Leopold Stokowski, Herbert Von Karajan, George Solti and Leonard Bernstein were still conducting. Dorati is an exemplary exponent of classical music, which is also to say Classical Era music (1750-1800). Nevertheless, even if Dorati has a superb touch for this kind of repertoire, he is equally as brilliant in 20th century music and Romantic Era music, as his Tchaikovsky symphonies and ballets have proven. At an expensive price, this recording is still worth it. It's a legend in recorded history of classical music. No other conductor dared to take on such a monumental project as to record all 100 and plus symphonies of Franz Joseph Haydn, the composer who by definition began the movement of Classical Era music. It was Mozart, who was his younger friend, that is better known today for this kind of music and moreover, musicologists believe he refined and perfected the style. But don't underestimate Papa Haydn. His music is beautiful, bursting with energy and lightness, elegance, warmth and melodic harmony that is so refreshing to hear especially in our own time which is full of stress.

Haydn's symphonies are not all similar sounding. Each symphony was unique, like the hand prints on people. Yes, at times they do tend to sound the same, possibly because so many of them were in the key of D. Nevertheless, they are music of individual merit. As his symphonies approached its later years and maturation, Haydn employed slights of ear and orchestral innovations that were considered new and bold in his time. The "surprise" in his "Surprise Symphony" is a thunderous "bang" in fortissimo by the orchestra after a melody that is rather bland and sleepy (which to me sounds like "Mary Had A Little Lamb"). The "Clock" Symphony is measured in a kind of "tick-tock" beat and is very very elegant and memorable, as it conjures up the image of a Rococco clock or a clock museum. The Paris Symphonies are an Austrian-German man's "trip" to Paris and his interpretation of French music. It sounds nothing at all like French music at the time although at times it nearly slips into the slow grandeur of the music of Baroque master Jean Baptiste Lully. The London Symphonies are among his best, with a kind of majesty and pomp typically associated with English royalty. If you listen carefully it's in the music. A similar thing occurs in the music to the "Oxford" Symphony. Haydn had visited Oxford to teach music and was awarded a doctorate. He composed music for that special event and the music is brooding, intellectual and somehow very very English.

Antal Dorati and his formidable Hungarica Philharmonica is at their very best in this set. The sound is crisp, gleaming and unbeatable. Even if you get the individualized sets of these symphonies, you will be treating yourself to some top-notch classical music. A must have for fans of Antal Dorati.

A major milestone in recorded music, stunning achievement.......2005-03-29

This complete cycle of the Symphonies of F.J. Haydn heralded a new era in recorded music. Everything about the project was first rate. The sound was among Decca's best. The playing of the little known Philharmonia Hungarica was close to perfect. Dorati's interpretations never disappointed. To top it off, Decca offered the cycle at budget prices and threw in unprecedented notes from H.C. Robbins Landon.

Many would comment "once you've heard one, you've heard them all" when asked about Haydn's vast symphonic output. They could not be more wrong. There isn't a dull symphony or poor performance in the lot. Try such unknowns as #26, or #33, or #51 and #52, to name a few of my lesser known favorites.

Those familiar with Haydn's more well known symphonies, such as the London Symphonies (93-104) were even astonished to find Dorati's performances giving more formidable orchestras and conductors a run for their money.

So what can be said of the set 30 years later?

Everything said earlier still stands, including the original liner notes. Only Graham Johnson's scrupulous notes with his various Hyperion lieder sets surpass Landon's astounding commentary. The digital transfers are from the late 80s, so they are not the best, but still quite serviceable. And the price is still quite reasonable.

Beware, though, that these are not period instruments. Dorati does use "period forces" as much as possible, meaning the number of instruments closely matches what would have been used originally.

So why do I say this set "heralded a new era in recorded music"? Because after the resounding success it enjoyed, many "complete" works projects of similar or greater magnitude got their chance. I doubt we would have any where near the volumes of "complete sets" we now enjoy had it not been for Dorati and Decca's Haydn cycle.

In short, a fabulous set that I would never part with.

Dorati blazed the trail for Haydn interpreters.......2004-11-12

I've owned this complete set of Haydn symphonies for at least a decade or more. While I enjoy period instrument sound and performance practice, you cannot get a complete set on period instruments (I was hoping Hogwood would finish his cycle but I understand it wasn't to be). In all honesty, I think the best period instrument interpretations outdo the modern instrument recordings in sheer energy amd agility, but in respect of modern instruments, Dorati, the pioneer, does an extraordinary job of bringing out the essential flavor and energy that was Haydn's symphonies. I don't like mixing and matching various orchestras and conductors, so buying this 32 CD set gets you all 104+ symphonies in one tidy package. The sound quality is very good considering the times, with a very forward midrange.

Late in his career, Herbert von Karajan developed an interest in Haydn, a composer whose music he had virtually ignored. Actually, Karajan wasn't much of a Mozart conductor either; his interests began with Beethoven. And so when he conducted Haydn, he emphasized the connection with Beethoven, and it works very well. Beethoven owed a lot to his former teacher--more than he was willing to admit--and Karajan's interpretations are full of symphonic grandeur and performed with great enthusiasm. The music itself is glorious. Just listen to the trumpets and horns blaze out in the finale of Symphony No. 82, The Bear, and you'll be hooked. Promise. --David Hurwitz

master performance of music with historic value as well!!.......2006-11-16

First, note that i am a relative beginner in classical music, so as a result, my interpretation of this music is based on this recording alone.

Second, that being said, i am eagerly awaiting haydn's complete symphonies conducted by Dorati to arrive. this is how much of an impression these works have made on me! i look forward to comparing the two interpretations.

Third, symphony #85 "la reine" was one of Queen Marie-Antoinette's favorites. I mention this for a few reasons. One, I am a bit of a history buff and enjoy learning about history, thus this gives me a point of reference for the composer's contempories and a sense of what is happening on the streets of Paris while this wonderful music is being performed. Furthermore, at the time of writing this review, the movie, "Marie-Antoinette" was in theatres, and yes i did see this one; although, at the time of purchase, I did not know about the connection. This has given me a fresh desire to revisit some history.

Fourth, frankly, the only good review is the one written in spanish which may be an obsticle to some, however he does mention that the Bernstein recording with the NYP is good, so that may be one to compare as well. The snob and the french reviews require no explanation.

Now, to the music. In a word: glorious. the music is full, rich, and played with fervent emotion that stirs my soul. Being a novice, I must say that most of my preferences for various works result from what moves me and where my mind goes with the music. This 2 CD set is a gem and I highly recommend it.

I have given the piece 5 stars for three reasons: a) my personal response to the music itself, b) the paucity of reviews for this recording and c) the quality of the conductor and orchestra.

Too Romantic?.......2002-09-25

Karajan's a great conductor, to be sure, but this rendition of Haydn's Paris symphonies leaves me unsatisfied. The tempos on some of the minuets are *way* too slow. Of course, I cut my symphonic-Haydn teeth on the Marriner/ASMF performances available on Philips DUO, which I recommend. It also sounds as if the Berlin Philharmonic might be a bit too big for these works, or maybe it's just the sonics of this 1981 recording. In any event, I find this interpretation much too Romantic for Joseph Haydn, the epitome of Classicism.
Karajan's and the BPO's performance of the Adagio of No. 87 is not bad, though.

Haydn y Karajan.......2000-05-27

Este doble de las Sinfonías de Haydn por Karajan, nos demuestra una vez más la excepcional calidad interpretativa que Karajan desarrollo con los berlineses, es bien conocida versión de La Creación (Karajan-Berlín) y altamente alabada por los críticos de todo el mundo. La combinación realmente funciona maravillosamente en la obra de Haydn.

El Haydn de Karajan suena muy fino con trazos muy elegantes con un espíritu brillante y fresco, las cuerdas de la Berlín están sorprendentemente bien balanceadas y rítmicamente activas. Las obras de Haydn son más ligeras que las siguientes: 88, 89, 90, 91, 92 y las Sinfonías londinenses (93 a la 104) pero no de menor belleza, la Sinfonía No. 86 debe ser sin lugar a dudas una de las obras más briosas y optimistas del gran maestro.

PD.- Las versiones de Leonard Bernstein con la New York Philharmonic, son otra excelente opción de las Sinfonías Parisinas.

First rate.......2005-03-15

More praise for these performances you will find if you search Kuijken Haydn on Amazon, and I can only add: Go for it! This bargain box is a collection of Kuijken's interpretations of 14 of Haydn's symphonies: three earlier symphonies, then the six Paris symphonies, finally the five symphonies between the Paris and London sets. I wait eagerly for BMG/Deutsche Harmonia Mundi to reissue Kuijken's London set. Price does not matter, as far as I am concerned, nothing compares to Kuijken's direction. But the price is ridiculously low, so go for it!
My taste on Haydn? Before I have the 12 London symphonies with Eugen Jochum, good, spirited, although Jochum's forces are too heavy; his is a Haydn looking forward to the romantic era, a charming mix of Enlightenment and Romanticism.

PS: August 2006: If you search Amazon B000EBDCUA you will find the London symphonies to a nice price. Great!
