Product Description

BBC Music Magazine

'When we speak of Joseph Haydn,' wrote Ernst Ludwig Gerber in his Lexicon der Tonkunstler of 1790-92, 'we think of one of our greatest men: great in small things and even greater in large... Everything speaks when he sets his orchestra in motion.' Gerber was among the first to recognise 'new and surprising' traits in Haydn's output, particularly among his Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) works of the early 1770s. Espousing spontaneity and passion as sources of creativity, Sturm und Drang despised the new rationalism of the Enlightenment, offering darkness and pessimism to counterpoise its orderly logic.

Minor-key angst, melodic fury, and vehement dynamic contrasts inform Haydn's symphonies from this period, and while they're unlikely ever to attain the popularity of his last 12 (written for London two decades later), the examples heard here are certainly no less remarkable. Consider No. 26 in D minor, Lamentatione, with its austere plainsong interpolations, the terse canonic minuet of No. 44 in E minor, Trauer, or the daringly reductive finale of No. 45 in F sharp minor, the Farewell.

Trevor Pinnock's insightful accounts recreate these scores without technical compromise or expressive reserve - each performance is studiously conceived and brilliantly executed. This set is also tastefully presented, with a full reprint of Nicholas Kenyon's helpful booklet notes. Only Bruno Weil's far less comprehensive overview with Tafelmusik (Sony) approaches the wild impulse and drama that Pinnock and the English Concert manage to sustain throughout these spellbinding recordings. Nobody interested in the evolution of the Classical symphony should be without them.

5.0 out of 5 stars ASTONISHINGLY FRESH, ORIGINAL, VITAL, 28 Jun 2001
Excellent value, and excellent music - words can scarcely describe the sheer inventiveness, beauty and power of these revolutionary works! Lean, taut playing from the English Connert, unfussy and direct interpretations, and marvellous ensemble playing bring these incredible works to instant life. Sound quality is superb and the presentation - six discs in six envelopes in a plain card box - will surely be the norm in future for the serious collector.

This is the best value purchase I have made in years, and one of the most inspirational. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars bright, alive and most rewarding, 9 Nov 2008
These performances have recently been criticised in some quarters for lacking in charm. I couldn't disagree more. I have heard many versions of these symphonies and Pinnock's are far and away the best. They are truly envigorating, sparkling and very attractive sounding. But they are in no way "driven" and to me they lack nothing. The supposedly more charming versions sound ponderous beside these and everyone I have played these records to - including many who would not think to explore "Haydn before the London Symphonies" - have fallen in love with them. And now, they are available at a price that is a real bargain. Buy this set!

5.0 out of 5 stars Box of Delights, 12 Sep 2009
In my opinion,this is the best box of Haydn on the market,surpassing Dorati(great as his is)in sound and performance,and collecting in a handy box the most interesting of the works--out of 104 symphonies,we have here 19--enough for the curious,but marvellous for the committed also.Period instruments are not to all tastes,but are in no way inferior to modern,at least here.Do yourself a favour,buy this...you'll never regret it.
