This box is an update of Brilliant Classics’ acclaimed Haydn Edition, with an additional 10 CDs of content including classic performances of the Trumpet and Horn concertos (Philharmonia Orchestra) and the Cello Concertos (Jan Vogler). The set of Haydn’s Masses is now complete, with renditions of the ‘Nelson’, ‘Creation’ and ‘Little Organ’ Masses and the Heilig- and Theresienmessen by New York’s Trinity Church Choir and Rebel Baroque Orchestra. Also new in this edition is Haydn’s final opera, L’anima del filosofo, performed by the Bavarian Radio Choir and Munich Radio Orchestra, along with world-famous sopranos Arleen Auger and Emma Kirkby in Haydn’s Songs and Cantatas. The Buchberger String Quartet add to their already monumental catalogue of ‘Papa’ Haydn’s quartets with readings of Op.50/4–6, Op.54 and Op.76/4-6, while Federico Guglielmo, Ginevra Petrucci et al. contribute new recordings of the duos for violin/viola and 2 flutes. Finally, all 8 of Haydn’s ingenious Nocturnes grace this updated box, as performed by the Wiener Concert-Verein. As before, the complete keyboard works (including all sonatas) feature here in vibrant performances on fortepianos, the keyboard instrument of Haydn’s day.
