Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Like everything Nikolaus Harnoncourt does, his Haydn performances are full of fresh insights mingled with occasionally bizarre features. The minuet of the London Symphony is a case in point: almost incredibly fast, but also exciting as hell. Similarly, No. 103 begins not with the customary drumroll, but with an entire improvised timpani solo. All of this has its justification in the score, of course, only no other conductor has dared attempt the extremes of expression that seem to be the norm with this conductor. He is aided by the superb Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam--a group famed for the quality of its woodwind playing in particular. These performances will provide many hours of enjoyable, provocative listening to fans of the composer and newcomers alike. --David Hurwitz
