Do you like Haydn?

Posted by: Reto D on 28 October 2002

If yes, then you might recommend me some good recordings of "Die Schöpfung" and "Die Jahreszeiten".

Thank you....

I really don't know what Nigel's response means. Hide & Seek. How witty. Keep working at your act, Nigel.

However, the problem is I like Haydn a lot, but not those big pieces. I like his piano trios, his quartets, his 'clavier' sonatas and his symphonies, too. In fact, they are indispensable to my life, for 25 years now. I know, because I don't listen to these things all the time (as you do with some music), but I get Haydn out when I need Haydn, for peace of mind.

John Elliot Gardiner's Seasons, as I recall, was very well received.
