8 Compact Discs containing 320 kbps MP3 - An interesting and wonderful new release from Nimbus Records, the Complete 104 Symphonies of Joseph Haydn played by the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra conducted by Adam Fischer and recorded by Nimbus in the Haydnsaal in Esterhazy Palace, Eisenstadt, Austria from 1987-2001. There are some real gems in this cycle. I was surprised by the concertino content within the symphonies, flute solos, violin duets and more. His symphonies are full of surprises and a delight to hear. Some very comic moments too.
I bought this from The Collectors Corner in Salisbury for £22. The performances and recording standard is VERY wonderful. Highly recommended.
