Haydn with Period Panache!.......2007-04-21
That's how one prominent review tabbed this set! Went on to compare with Dorati's recording of same, and found this one relative equal, but with somewhat faster tempos and period faithfulness.
Having fallen in love with hearing Symphony #38 on radio with its dazziling oboe part, had to have that recording and in the bargain found many more of this 1760ish collection of Haydn's works to equally love.
Especially fond of No. 31 with its superb horn work and double bass, and also the 30th with its addition of trumpets and drums.
For the price brilliant five disc set to enjoy these in Haydn's symphonic cycle.
Worth acquiring at any price.......2007-02-23
Some say Haydn's ingenuity is even greater than that of Mozart's or Beethoven's. When listening to this brilliantly played set, I find myself becoming a convert of the belief. Haydn experimented with a variety of musical tools in these works. Surprising twists and turns are abundant. You will hear chamber serenade, harpsichord run, or violin solo in the most unexpected spots. Instruments are sometimes played in very unconventional ways resulting in exotic sounds - similar to what Berlioz and Mahler did later. Structure is toyed with in many symphonies, especially in the early ones.
In Austro-Hungrarian Orchestra, Adam Fischer finds an all-in chef's toolkit needed to cook these delightful ingredients. The woodwinds not only sing but also coo and meow. Strings melt your heart to a puddle with their exquisite pianissimo. Horns are expressive yet stylish. The whole orchestra knows how to knock themselves out when the music calls for it. The overall timbre is unlike any other orchestra I've ever heard, period or conventional. It's bright, edgy and folksy at the same time. It sounds like a virtuosic chamber ensemble rather than an orchestra except in the big symphonies. I believe the closest thing to their sound is Vienna Philharmonic playing Johann Strauss waltzes. Throw in a hint of gypsy flavor then it would be even closer.
Because this is a massive 33-CD set, there are inevitably a few imperfections. In a handful of spots the strings are not perfectly together. Adding to this, some of the violins have very distinctive tones which don't blend well with others when the music gets energetic. As to the engineering, some of the symphonies recorded early in the cycle are captured with too much reverberation, especially some London symphonies which sound soft-edged. But let me assure you the vast majority of the 100 plus symphonies have been recorded with crystal-clear brilliance.
One may find more sophisticated and smooth playing in some conventional performances (Colin Davis and Jochum) or crisper articulations in some period recordings (Bruggen and Pinnock). But Fischer and his hand-picked orchestra deliver more character and expressiveness than in any Haydn performances I've ever heard. Harnoncourt comes close but Fischer's set has more smiles. And his orchestra has the devilish ability to accommodate any mood Haydn's score throws at them - whether it's charm, wit, panache, or pathos. Their playing in slow movements is simply inimitable.
This set will be the source of joy for many Haydn lovers whether they are beginners just opening up the treasure chest or seasoned collectors with many other Haydn CDs. According to others' opinions, it compares favorably to Dorati's box, the only other complete set which I have not heard.
One final point - I wrote the review without the consideration of the price. In other words, this set is worth acquiring at any price.
Great Haydn .......2005-07-06
A superlative recording of Haydn symphonies. These perfomences are very enjoyable and i highly recommend them
Excellent........2004-03-15
To record the complete Haydn symphony cycle (107 symphonies or so, depending on which reference you choose) is no doubt a daunting task to say the least. Haydn's genius is evident in every one of these works, from the earliest to the experimental middle periods (but they are all experimental in some way), to the late, great works of the '90s. His symphonies not only provide almost endless formal and musical variety - they are an unusually accurate (if the current Hoboken numbering is corrected) documentation of a great composer's steady growth as a composer. This is why boxed sets of symphonies such as this series offered by Fischer and the Esterhazy Orchestra are so important, not only for those who love Haydn in particular, but for those who are interested in the development of the orchestra, the symphonic form, and the history of Western music in general.
As this set follows the incorrect Hoboken numbering system, the set recorded here includes a few of his earliest symphonies written in the late 1750s as well as those written during his "Years of Transition", to use Geiringer's apt term for those works written during the experimental years of the 1760s. These include the early masterpiece, no. 31 in D major, "The Hornsignal", the beautiful no. 21 in A major, the famous no. 22 in the "wisdom" key of E-flat major, "The Philosopher" (the first symphony to my knowledge that uses English Horns), and 2 minor-keyed works (I don't include no. 34 in this category because only the first movement is in d minor), nos. 26 in d minor, "Lamentatione", and no. 39 in g minor. (Incidentally, both of these minor-keyed symphonies had an obvious influence on Mozart - his d-minor fugue for 2 pianos and his "Little" g-minor symphony are the most obvious respective debtors to Haydn's examples here.)
This recording is excellent throughout. The sound is wonderful, the tempi and interpretations are clear, simple, and forceful and the playing is first rate. These sterling qualities are present in each of the symphonies recorded here and the only quibbles I have are merely interpretive. The technical difficulties written for the horn parts are played with absolute aplomb and even the occasional concertmaster and other string solo passages not written in the score (this is a liberty taken by Fischer) usually add to the interest rather than detract. Fischer occasionally prefers grace over fire and the occasional attempts to make the music more charming by using such devices as extremely clipped articulation or sudden (and sometimes nonsensical) volume changes or backing away from a forceful cadence are minor distractions. Overall, the interpretations are very good.
For this price, Nimbus is offering quite a bit of wonderful music that is handsomely packaged and extremely well recorded. The liner notes are succinct, yet informative and I guarantee learning will take place while listening and reading up on this great set of works. I highly recommend this recording.
(By the way, Amazon's advertisement for this set includes 2 works not included in the recording due to a mistake: Symphonies 'A' and 'B' are non-numbered symphonies and are not the names of two symphonies. They were included in Haydn's symphonic cycle after Hoboken (whose numbering system is mostly followed) had died. Symphony 'A' and symphony 'B' are included in this recording. Nos. 45, "The Farewell", and 71, an even later work, are NOT included in this recording.)
the cycle is complete.......2001-11-29
Well it took 14 years, but this 5 disc volume completes the 32 disc collection of Haydn symphonies.
As with the previous volumes this one is fully digital, the technical quality of these discs is excellent.
I have all 8 volumes and have been happy with every one of them.
The sounds of Adam Fischer and the Austro-Hungarian Orchestra are splendid. This group of symphonies (21-39) is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Incredible "Hornsignal".......2005-02-22
This CD has Haydn Symphonies 27, 28 and 31. While 27 and 28 are well written, they are not masterpieces. On the other hand, 31 is one of Haydn's greatest works, especially the variations finale. Although this is a studio recording, it does not sound like one. It is a performance with lots of passion and magnificent playing. The many solos in the finale (including one for string bass) are played just perfectly. And while the playing is precise, it never sounds mechanical. It is Haydn with lots of joy and humor. A must buy for any lover of the classical era, especially at less than 7 dollars.
Exploring the Haydn Symphonies -- Nos. 27,28, and 31.......2004-12-07
Lovers of music today are fortunate to have the opportunity to explore in depth the symphonies of Joseph Haydn (1732 --1809). Beginning with Antal Dorati's recordings, listeners have had a choice in versions for virtually all Haydn's 104 symphonies. Among the best ways to explore Haydn is through the budget-priced complilation of symphonies on Naxos. Besides price, the Naxos set offers the opportunity to explore Haydn one CD (three symphonies) at a time. The compilation uses a variety of conductors and chamber ensembles. Thus, this set also offers the chance to hear how different conductors and groups approach Haydn.
The CD under review features Bela Drahos conducting the Nicolaus Esterhazy Sinfonia, Hungary. It includes three well-performed early symphonies, nos. 27,28, and 31 the "Hornsignal" together with good liner notes. The "Hornsignal" in particular is an ambitious work that will reward frequent hearing.
The symphony no. 27 in G major is the earliest work on this CD, dating from 1760. It is short and consists of but three movements. The first movement, allegro molto, is notable because it shows Haydn experimenting with sonata form. The opening exposition consists of two primary themes and, as becomes customary, is played with a repeat. This is followed by a short development section which is also repeated, proceeded by a repeat of the exposition. The movement concludes with a recapitulation which is not repeated. The second movement is marked andante:siciliano. Interestingly, this is not a slow movement but rather moves at a flowing graceful pace featuring strings over a plucked figure. I enjoyed listening for the continuo accompanyment in this movement. The finale, marked presto, opens with four loud chords followed by a quiet answer and a lively theme, including a singing scale figure. There is a short, contrasting middle section. This is a notable early symphonic effort.
Symphony no. 28 in A major was composed five years later in 1765. (The numberings of Haydn's symphonies obviously are imprecise.) It is in four movements and is also a short work. The opening movement, allegro di molto, begins with a light, dancelike theme followed by a loud answer. The development section works up to a loud minor-key passage featuring a solo for the horn followed by passages for the solo oboe towards the end of the movement. Haydn was making good use of winds by this time in his symphonic career. The second movement, poco adagio, is a slow movement, but modestly paced. It features a walking theme in the low strings with contrasting statements in the higher strings. The minuet includes an opening theme with a stuttering, shaky quality. The trio is in the minor-key and consists of a haunting, short theme that ends mid-air. The finale, presto assai, is a dancelike theme which includes solos for the horn and which features passages in contrary motion. The main theme is stated by the higher strings moving up with an accompaniment figure in the lower strings moving down.
The final work on this CD, the symphony no. 31 in D major, "Hornsignal" also dates from 1765. This is a lengthy work, over 30 minutes, exceeding the length of many of Haydn's late symphonies. It is also highly inventive, featuring extended solo work for many instruments, a variety of movements, and an underlying unity through the use of horn calls. The work is scored for a large orcherstra which includes four horns (rather than the usual two).
The first movement, allegro, opens with a flourishing horn fanfare which is repeated at the beginning of the development and at the conclusion of the work. The movement also features a prominent solo for the flute together with a supple, lyrical theme in the strings. The second movement, adagio, is in a two-part form, each of which is gently rocking, and features extensive solo passages for the violin, flute, and horns (in pairs) over a backdrop of plucked strings. The minuet features a stately theme with horns tootling in the background. The trio gives the oboes the lead with the horns in response. The remarkable fourth movement, moderato molto/presto is a theme and variations with solos for many instruments. The theme is stated deliberately and quietly in the strings. The variations stay close to the theme but present it in different voices. Thus, the first variation features the oboe and horn, the second the cello, the third the flute, together with a stroking figure in the strings, the fourth a choir consisting of the four horns, the fifth a solo violin, the sixth the orchestra with a great deal of wind coloration, the seventh a string bass (highly unusual and effective). There is a short minor-key interlude followed by a quick conclusion ending with another horn fanfare. This is an excellent, too-little known symphony!
This CD offers an opportunity to explore the early Haydn. It will probably have most appeal to listeners who know Haydn's latter symphonic masterworks and who have an urge to experience the development of this great composer.

Customer Reviews:
Oh, the horns!!.......2003-02-03
I bought this CD for the horn parts alone. Bright, brassy and raw, these parts (played on natural horns) are what make these symphonies a treat to listen to. Overall though, these symphonies are very original and inventive. Much more, I find, than his later symphonies. Seems Haydn perhaps mellowed out in his old age. If you're looking for a "firey" recording of Haydn symphonies, you should definitely buy this recording.
