5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!, July 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Haydn: 12 'London' Symphonies [Live at the Wiener Konzerthaus] (Audio CD)
I have a lot of recordings of these works (Harnoncourt, Bruggen, Davis, Beecham, Karajan, Solti, Bernstein, Jochum, Norrington, Fey, Shelley, Fischer) and this new Marc Minkowski edition is easily my favorite, by far my favorite, the standard by which I will henceforth judge all others. I received the box set via mail last week, and I honestly just can't stop listening to them over and over again, again and again -- at work, on the subway, late night, before the gym, at the gym, I even added some of them to my Blackberry -- they're really fantastically incredible. There's so much intimacy, so much ferocious vivacious fire vigour zest zeal passion beauty, so much attention to detail, they're honestly living breathing creatures that have renewed my eternal perpetual love for Papa Haydn. I sincerely wish I were at these (recorded live) performances!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Personal View Of Haydn, October 13, 2010
This review is from: Haydn: 12 'London' Symphonies [Live at the Wiener Konzerthaus] (Audio CD)
There are currently two reviews on this site: one from a customer calling the performances 'amazing' and one from the Washington Post calling them 'bizarre'. I definitely prefer amazing. Bizarre would be appropriate if the London Symphonies had been performed by an accordion quartet. Personal or even idiosyncratic would be more accurate to contrast these performances with more conventional ones. These are definitely my favorite versions of these wonderful pieces. I purchased this recording at a site that doesn't allow reviews, but I felt moved to communicate my great pleasure in listening to it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great **, April 21, 2011
By 
Bernard Michael O'Hanlon (Wilsons Prom, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Haydn: 12 'London' Symphonies [Live at the Wiener Konzerthaus] (Audio CD)
There are two sucker punches here: the ' Surprise' from 94 and the 'improvisation' at the commencement of 103. The former, it has to be said, wears thin rapidly. Secondly, if one is going to deviate from the urtext, it had better damn work as one is 'betting' against the composer himself; in this instance, the opening of the Drum Roll is a damp squib. These are both major defects to any London cycle, so why use the term 'sucker punch'?

Well, it is easy to be blinded by these lapses and thus ignore the set's overall brilliance. Where Minkowski foregoes his jester's costume to concentrate on the music itself, he delivers in spades. Is there a more thrilling 104 in existence? It floored me. The Clock picks one up like a perfect wave on a surf beach. Much the same could be said of the other symphonies. To my ear, the recording balance is fine enough; these are live performances after all.

Haydn's London symphonies are well served by discography; this cycle has a claim on your collection, and you can always draw upon 94 & 103 elsewhere.
