If you like Mozart you should have this too., January 20, 2007
This review is from: Haydn - Arias & Cantatas / Auger · H&H · Hogwood (Audio CD)
Haydn had composed a few operas and oratorios. Many of them are seldom performed, or recorded, except The Creation. Though, I think people would agree with me that Haydn's vocal music did not have all the elements that were possessed in Mozart's opera arias and concert arias. However, the five selections in this CD, in my opinion, are pretty much up to the par. Just only one (the cantata in the third track) of which I felt it was too slow (to my taste). I am a fan of Arleen Auger; this disc is certainly a delightful addition to my collections of her discography. In case you don't know who was Arleen Auger (deceased, unfortunately), there was a full article about her in the OPERA NEWS (July 2006 issue). Better yet, get hold a CD called "Love Songs" and listen to it, you know what I meant.
