Greatest Haydn Symphonies. Pick your top 15. List them in your post and rank them if you want, or at least your top five.

Yes, it's no easy matter to choose among so many top-rate works. We could have chosen 30 different between us and still not gone wrong. :)

I've heard probably fewer than half! And I will have to listen my way through my Szell recordings to recollect which of the 90s symphonies were my favorites. Off top of my head, all I can think of as special favorites are 45, 60, 82, 83, 92, and 95.

82 "The Bear" has always been my favorite though. :)

# 83, the "Chicken" Symphony, has always been a favourite of mine.   :) ;D

Or.... "Le Poulet"

The Bear and Drum Roll are also favourites, but I have probably only heard about a dozen of Haydn's symphonies so far, maybe 15 max.  :-[

That symphony was an immediate hit with our parakeets. (I am not kidding.)

I think we need a project to give nicknames to all the other symphonies.

I don't mind, do I need to do something in order for you to be able to change it?

I nominate "Grasshopper" for No.52 because of the finale's "jumpy" sounding opening bars.

I used up half of my selections and I haven't even gotten through the 40s!

6
7
8
26
31
41
43
44

Once I go through all I'll have to make some hard choices before actually voting.

Nice to see No.26 in there, I also included it in my list. I love the three movement structure, and ending with the Menuet e Trio gives it an uncommonly unresolved feeling for a Haydn symphony, but somehow still completely satisfying.

Should no 93 be called The Fart, The Sneeze or The Burp? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ha! I just did something similar. Just got done listening to No.44, went through in my head how I voted for it in this poll. And then realized I didn't!!!

I may never be satisfied with only 15.
