Editorial Reviews

"Turkish" music was all the rage in the late 18th century. Mozart and Haydn composed their quota of it, the most famous examples being Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio and Haydn's Military Symphony. "Turkish" or "janissary" music usually featured exotic harmonies and extra percussion in the orchestra--bass drum, cymbals, and triangle. This delicious disc contains music by the Haydn's younger brother, Michael, who took over Mozart's job in Salzburg after the archbishop kicked him out. It's a perky, expertly written suite of movements that will fascinate anyone interested in good, unusual music in the classical style. Haydn's older brother would have been proud. --David Hurwitz

Beautiful music and excellent execution. "Zaire" is a fine example of the "Turkish Craze" and it is as powerful as the "Military Symphony" by Joseph Haydn.
