This reissue is from 2009, original recording is about ten years earlier I believe.

Everytime I read Ken's signature it gives me the Nyman bug. But it's a good bug.

MI territory has much in common with the former Soviet Union: Your borders and territorial size may change at any time!

The 76 gets a high ranking.  If you have Hoggy's take on 77 then you have the gold standard of all Haydn recordings IMO>

Oy, Karl.  Does this set have the 76 on it?

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach
