I haven't done any recent posts on Haydn, but believe me, he is part of my regular listening. I just recently got the Trevor Pinnock, English Concerto box of all the "Sturm und Drang" symphonies which I have really enjoyed.Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-20722077010668306002016-08-06T14:36:29.032-05:002016-08-06T14:36:29.032-05:00I will join the parade of those happy to have foun...I will join the parade of those happy to have found this blog and working my way through your posts on the Haydn symphonies - who is, yes, the World's Most Underrated Composer! I've listened at least once or twice to all the symphonies, most of them more than that, but like Gavin I just got the complete Adam Fischer set and am now going through them in numerical order and keeping notes on each one before moving on to the next. Always great to see someone else's perspective on these treasures. Keep it up!

In my collection I have the Dennis Russell Davies/Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra complete set on Sony. Good performances and very well-priced.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment! Being a Haydn-lover you obviously have good taste.Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-19763092403379789032016-01-12T09:03:31.939-06:002016-01-12T09:03:31.939-06:00Just discovered this blog, because I'm going t...Just discovered this blog, because I'm going through all the Haydn symphonies (bought the same Adam Fischer set it looks like you used).
