Haydn 2032, Vol. 11: Au Goût Parisien

This latest volume, with the Basel players sizzling and exuberant, includes two of the “Paris” symphonies, Nos 82 in C, “The Bear” – characterised by explosive “bagpipe” drones in the finale – and No 87 in A, as well as No 24 in D and No 2 in C. The handsome and informative 50-page booklet provides a list of the make and date of all the instruments played. - The Guardian (Alpha)
