These are two delightful and lesser known Haydn symphonies and are full of surprises and innovations. Every new release in this series is greeted with enthusiasm: “There is much to fascinate and admire here…” International Record Review “Fey's performances always leave me breathless, seldom less than invigorated, often infuriated, and it'll be fascinating to hear how he measures up when only the less outgoing symphonies are left to be recorded.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2011 “What results is an astringent sonority, the timpani played with ‘hard’ sticks, the brass with piercing bite. All of this works well, the overall orchestral texture being especially well focused, the modern strings gaining a nasal sonority in their freedom from vibrato…this is a valuable release” International Record Review, July/August 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Haydn - Harmony Mass
It’s always a very special musical event when two Bavarian Broadcasting ensembles join forces on stage – as in this case with the Chor and Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. In the magnificent setting of Waldsassen Abbey Basilica in the Upper Palatinate, Mariss Jansons conducted an all-Haydn program in October of 2008: Haydn’s Harmony Mass ranks as one of the six great masses of his late creative period, composed on commission from Prince Esterházy. Its name refers to the unusually large complement of wind instruments, an orchestration that was only possible for the final great masses after the Josephinist restrictions for church music were lifted, and because, from 1792 on, Haydn had a larger instrumental ensemble at his disposal. Timpani and trumpets were used in the Symphony in G major, Hob. I:88, but not, as might be expected, in the opening allegro but rather – in contrast to expectations in those days – not until the slow second movement. | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Haydn - Harmony Mass
An especially festive atmosphere, in which we can participate both acoustically and visually with this DVD, was the dominant mood of this concert in the famous Abbey Basilica of Waldsassen in the Upper Palatinate. Among lovers of baroque church architecture, Waldsassen ranks as one of the most significant sacred buildings in Bavaria. The lush setting also includes the richest treasure-trove of relics north of the Alps. In addition to the Symphony in G major, Hob. I:88 and the Sinfonia D major, Hob. Ia:7, the performance in Waldsassen in October of 2008 also included Franz Joseph Haydn’s Harmony Mass. 2.0 PCM Stereo 5.0 DTS Surround 5.0 Dolby Digital Surround “…filmed in the splendid surround of the ornate Baroque Basilica at Waldsassen, Bavaria… The Mass, with its grand and regularly celebratory liturgical manner, four soloists and chorus, seems particularly well suited to the venue and Brian Large's filming is intelligent in its focus on whatever is happening musically in the score at any given moment. The performance is of a very high standard... Mariss Jansons seeks out the humanity of Haydn's ideas, their wit... and their character...” BBC Music Magazine, February 2010 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
