I have Misere, Rex, and the only track I listen to is Festina Lente and it is out of this world beautiful. You da man.
Slowly working my way through the complete set of Haydn Symphonies. First 75 conducted by Hogwood, the ones after that conducted by Harnoncourt.
Hi Randy - I actually have the Dorati set, along with the Adam Fischer set, but not the Goodman recordings as I generally hate everything he does. Have the Davis London's and like them, but like the Harnoncourt (and Bruggen) even more. Jochum ain't bad either, and neither is Bernstein (shocking, I know). But the truth is, lots of people do the late symphonies well, it's a lot harder to find good recordings of the early ones. Of the 3 sets I have, Hogwood is clearly the best in 1-20. In 20-75 Fischer gets a LOT better and gives Hogwood a real run for his money. I just wish Hogwood had been given a chance to complete the set.
