Excellent Mid-Level Haydn April 1, 2013

"Thomas Fey and his altogether outstanding Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra have done it again- another high quality recording of Haydn symphonies. Volume 19 in their on-going series features Symphonies # 26, 27, and 42, and all receive superb, loving treatment from the HSO. A few specifics should suffice to strengthen my assessment. Symphony # 26's anguish-laced Adagio movement fully justifies by itself the symphony's subtitle 'Lamentation.' Symphony # 27's bold introductory horn statement signals a more joyful, upbeat atmosphere, which dominates the entire work. Thirdly, Symphony # 42 has four movements, whereas the other two have only three. Apart from this structural evolution, the work as a whole is much longer than 26 or 27 (34 minutes compared to 18 and 13 minutes, respectively). This extended duration is due primarily to the length of the first two movements, which last over 26 minutes. With regard to the content of Symphony # 42, I think it is possible to detect (or at least sense) Haydn's increasing confidence and technical skill in thematic development and manipulation. All in all, this is a fine addition to Thomas Fey's Haydn cycle. Needless to say, these three symphonies do not demonstrate the fully mature brilliance of Haydn's late symphonies, but the listener can easily see where Haydn is headed. Recommended."
