Crud.  I do not have a 75 on the shelf.  Will the Fischer do?

It would certainly do for me! That's my go-to set when I need to fill a gap (like #79 & 81).

Well, not having the 100+ memorized, this one started off with a flurry.  Would be cool to see it performed live.  This will have to do

That was a really nice performance. Yes, once in a great while I wish I lived elsewhere, and it is nearly always for the reason of being able to enjoy live performances again.

I went ahead and took in all four movements, so my second 75 of the day.  Does not seem to be a disc of the performance.

Well, Haydnistos, if you have 52 minutes to spare, you might take in this YouTube vid, a 1985 broadcast documentary which is really very very nice. The friend from British Haydn Society who linked me to it did so because Malcolm Bilson is in it, doing  little bit on the harpsichord and an interesting speaking part. But it is loaded with such goodies including some symphonic movement played by L'Estro Armonico /Solomons, for example, and the Esterházy Baryton Trio, as well as lots and lots of nice scenic footage around Kismarton and Eszterháza.

And, frankly, if I did not have that patch of code handy, I should be every bit as fogged, myself.

Very enjoyable all round. Thanks for putting it up (and thanks Karl, too, for the alternate link).

Thanks, Karl. Honestly, I've tried doing precisely that same thing in the past with still poor results. I attribute to either not having the magically correct combination of size parameters or else innate inability to grasp what's happening. Either or both.

Bilson was a mere lad back then, eh? Tempora mutantur...

It can be a pain to edit the address from ... .com/watch?v= ... to .... .com/v/...

The whole thing looked more like 1975 than 1985 to me, both the documentary style, and the fashions (well, hair, anyway).  I wonder if the performances may have predated the film by a good while? Or maybe European fashion just took longer to liberate itself from the aesthetic desolation that was the 70s (not that the 80s were wildly better...).
   My favorite thing was the nice big chunks of music. It made me think how much better Ken Burns' 12 hour "Jazz" documentary would have been if he had actually liked and trusted jazz enough to put in jazz music (instead of an endless succession of talking heads).

If it was as easy as that, Scandinavians would be dong it...

Yes, that's what I liked too. Not just a bar here or there, but generally an entire movement, which is not the same as an entire piece, but still way better than one usually gets. Even a baryton trio!

Aye, those Swedes, Norwegians & Danes are ideal for the job. It's been a couple of years since my last trip in Scandinavia, actually..

Reminds me of a joke (or is it?) which I read in (I think) one number of The Reader's Digest from long, long ago:

To most of the world, Yankee means "an American."  But to an American in the South, Yankee means a Northerner;  in the North, Yankee means a New Englander;  in New England, Yankee means a Vermonter;  in Vermont, Yankee means your neighbor who likes sharp cheddar cheese on his apple pie.

Um, no, that's no joke. It's the story of my life. *cuts the cheese*....  0:)
