| |||||
| These famous performances need little recommendation from me. They are special, they are wonderful, they are hopelessly anachronistic regarding the text but ideally idiomatic in capturing the wit, grace, and high spirits of the music. It's true that Beecham minimizes the trumpet and drum contributions and soft-pedals some of the more boisterous moments in the outer movements of Symphonies Nos. 99 and 102 (for instance). But the string phrasing in the slow movements is so beautiful, Symphony No. 100's military movement so full of pomp and circumstance, the wind playing brimming with characterful fun, and the pacing in general so practically perfect that any complaints seem churlish. If you want period instruments, repeats, and the latest musicological seal of approval, look elsewhere. For supreme musicianship placed in the service of Haydn's irrepressible high spirits, these versions remain as fresh and enjoyable as the day they were recorded, despite slightly dated (stereo) sonics. --David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com | |||||
