Philharmonia Hungarica / Antal Dorati

 

To celebrate the Haydn 200th Anniversary Year in style, one of the most famous symphony cycles of all time.

 

A limited-edition super-budget set. 2009 is 200th anniversary of Haydn’s death Decca’s pioneering complete cycle of Haydn symphonies on modern instruments. Recorded between 1969 and 1972, this was the first complete cycle of Haydn’s symphonies.  Hungarian-born Antal Dorati was a Haydn pioneer and specialist who also recorded Haydn operas for Philips during the same period. Decca catalogue of Haydn is without parallel and contains complete cycles of the Piano Sonatas and String Quartets (as well as Piano Trios on Philips). Many of these are award-winning recordings

 

"Antal Dorati was ahead of his time as a Haydn interpreter when he made his pioneering recording of the complete Haydn symphonies. Superbly transferred to CD in bright, full and immediate sound, the performances are a consistent delight, with brisk allegros and fast-flowing andantes, with textures remarkably clean. Certainly this set is a bargain if ever there was one."

Rosette Award Penguin Guide to Compact Discs

 

"When first issued on LP Dorati's performances won almost universal praise for their style and verve, their eager and imaginative engagement with the music's astonishing protean inventiveness. In their CD incarnation they have little to fear from the competition. Whatever integral cycles may appear in the future, Dorati's will stand as one of the gramophone's grandest achievements."
