Haydn is unthinkable without Beecham.......2006-09-16
At present this composer is neglected. Unlike Mozart, Haydn's poised classicism doesn't feel deep enough to modern ears; he's never tragic or even conflicted. His music is charmng, balanced, self-assured, and incredibly inventive. That should be enough, but I can think of a host of major conductors who have recorded barely a handful of Haydn symphonies (Walter, Furtwangler, Abbado, Fricsay, Klemperer, etc.) The true devotees include, besides Beecham, Bernstein and Karajan, with Szell adding his good share, about eight symphonies. Bernstein's set of the Paris symphonies stands on a plane with Beechaam's London symphonies. Together, they are must-listens in this delightful music.

Worth acquiring at any price........2007-02-23
In Austro-Hungrarian Orchestra, Adam Fischer finds an all-in chef's toolkit needed to cook these delightful ingredients. The woodwinds not only sing but also coo and meow. Strings melt your heart to a puddle with their exquisite pianissimo. Horns are expressive yet stylish. The whole orchestra knows how to knock themselves out when the music calls for it. The overall timbre is unlike any other orchestra I've ever heard, period or conventional. It's bright, edgy and folksy at the same time. It sounds like a virtuosic chamber ensemble rather than an orchestra except in the big symphonies. I believe the closest thing to their sound is Vienna Philharmonic playing Johann Strauss waltzes. Throw in a hint of gypsy flavor then it would be even closer.
Because this is a massive 33-CD set, there are inevitably a few imperfections. In a handful of spots the strings are not perfectly together. Adding to this, some of the violins have very distinctive tones which don't blend well with others when the music gets energetic. As to the engineering, some of the symphonies recorded early in the cycle are captured with too much reverberation, especially some London symphonies which sound soft-edged. But let me assure you the vast majority of the 100 plus symphonies have been recorded with crystal-clear brilliance.
One may find more sophisticated and smooth playing in some conventional performances (Colin Davis and Jochum) or crisper articulations in some period recordings (Bruggen and Pinnock). But Fischer and his hand-picked orchestra deliver more character and expressiveness than in any Haydn performances I've ever heard. Harnoncourt comes close but Fischer's set has more smiles. And his orchestra has the devilish ability to accommodate any mood Haydn's score throws at them - whether it's charm, wit, panache, or pathos. Their playing in slow movements is simply inimitable.
This set will be the source of joy for many Haydn lovers whether they are beginners just opening up the treasure chest or seasoned collectors with many other Haydn CDs. According to others' opinions, it compares favorably to Dorati's box, the only other complete set which I have not heard.
One final point - I wrote the review without the consideration of the price. In other words, this set is worth acquiring at any price.
Very enjoyable.......2002-03-23
For the ultimate London symphonies, I highly recommend Beecham on EMI. No one has matched his charm and wit with the drama. Fischer's recordings are great; Beecham is awesome!

Pirate Versions have Appeared but this is the First Official Decca Release on CD - and is Something to Be Savoured.Customer Reviews:
Magical.......2007-07-15
These Haydn performances are just about perfect. Elegant, lovingly phrased, never boring. Even Philips recorded him superbly (surely helped by the Concertgebouw's outstanding acoustics). You forget these are in MONO.
Sadly, Maestro van Beinum died relatively young for a conductor; one of those "what if...." that makes us, collectors, sigh.

Clean performances in lovely sound, but that's not enough.......2007-04-27
That said, I never smiled while listening to these readings. There's no depth or humor to be had here, unlike the marvelous Beecham and equally impressive Bernstein. Tempos are moderate throughout, with no surprises in either the fast or slow movements; happily, the Minuets are light-footed. I won't run through each symphony because they all follow the same model---each is precise, respectful, and unexceptionable. For me, that's jsut not enough to make this great music come alive.

Szell Is Masterful In The Haydn Symphonies.......2006-11-07
Classic performances @ a give-away price.......2006-04-18
Supreme Music, Szell at his best.......2006-03-29
one-half are masterpieces. If you are not into Haydn yet, this CD will certainly convince you of his mastery. Symphonies 93 and 95 are magnificent performances. No. 97 is a little stiff but it is a rather martial work and maybe that is why Szell is so emphatic about dynamics and markings. But don't be scared. At 7 bucks, this is a great bargain.
One could only wish..........2005-02-16
Szells account of the 93rd is worth the price of this CD alone. The bassoon belch in the second movement is hilarious, perhaps reminding the listener of a Whoopie-cushion. Szell really had a way with Haydn. A serious Haydn collection should not be without this, or the disk with the 92, 94, and 96 symphonies.
Haydn sobresaliente..........2004-12-16
El sonido de la Orquesta de Cleveland igual como es el caso de las sinfonias de Mozart tiene un toque genial, clasico y natural, cuerdas maravillosas, vientos sublimes.
Haydn es un genio, y estas sinfonia son parte de ese extenso grupo de obras sinfonicas que este gran creador nos ha brindado.
Disfrutenlo es un CD extraordinario.
