"This is the third installment in Leonard Slatkin’s series of Haydn’s “London” Symphonies (the first was reviewed in 2/95), again bringing fresh, refined readings at speeds on the fast side that never sound breathless. That includes minuets in the modern manner treated as fast landler movements, more than half-way to becoming scherzos.

Symphony No. 93 was made at Abbey Road over four years ago, followed by the other two – No. 100 also at Abbey Road and No. 99 at Blackheath Concert Halls – in the succeeding 12 months. Those later recordings, while maintaining clean textures – lighter than usual from a full modern orchestra – have more presence and body. I particularly enjoyed the genuine, tripping Allegretto that Slatkin adopts for the second movement of the Military, giving even more swagger than usual to the military incursions from which the symphony gets its nickname."

-- Edward Greenfield, Gramophone [7/1997]
