The Philharmonia Orchestra recorded Haydn's twelve London Symphonies with Leonard Slatkin between 1993 and 1994 to great acclaim, and this four-CD set is released complete for the first time. Slatkin is an urbane and attentive Haydn interpreter in the words of Gramophone, and his fresh, refined readings produce vivacious Haydn for a modern orchestra. The majestic Symphony No. 104 (London), wrote BBC Music Magazine, is especially impressive ... played here with a thrilling exuberance.
