Haydn's Haus

[Gurn Blanston]

Looking for the other Kuijiken Haydn that I didn't have besides the ones DavidW posted, there's these too:

[asin]B000001TY3[/asin]

[asin]B000001TXX[/asin]

[asin]B000001TYO[/asin]

[asin]B000001TZ6[/asin]

[asin]B000001TZB[/asin]

And there appears to be a Japanese import that boxes all these up:

[asin]B000EBDCUA[/asin]

But it might have been hard finding some since Amazon had at least one listed as by Hadyn.

Yes, those are the 5 that I have (I rec'd them to David earlier). It is hit and miss finding them, sometimes there are 3 or 4 to choose from, sometimes 0 to choose from. The alternative, the Japanese set, is nice, it makes 5 into 4. I thought about it but decided I liked the pictures on the singles better...

[Gurn Blanston]

Where's the SQs? (unless that's the Nomos: second shelf, all the way to the left?)

The middle shelf, about the center, that line of black boxes, is the Festetics. Up at the very top, that pink and the green box, those are the Mosaiques. Due to the flash, you can barely see on the second shelf up, the Kodaly set that was my first, I took them out of the (23) single boxes and put them in those chubby 4 packs to save space. Probably didn't...   Then there are various single disks scattered around.

Well, one can't be ambitious all the time, Napoleon . . . .

True enough; getting a bit long in the tooth to support undue ambition.

... and the complete Buchbergers in the pale blue box.

Damn, forgot those!     Thanks, Toñito, where would I be etc? 

[DavidW]

... and the complete Buchbergers in the pale blue box.

I wish!  It's incomplete, missing the best ones.

Scattered around? ? Scattered around? ?

uh... uh... how?  how dare?...

[Antoine Marchand]

I don't know if those are precisely the best, but some quartets are lacking. BTW, when this cycle was originally released I purchased several individual volumes, but when I bought vol. 3 (Op. 77, 103 & Op. 51), I hated so deeply Buchberger's interpretation that I decided not to buy  the remaining volumes. But then the big box was released and I even got several quartets duplicated.   

[Antoine Marchand]

Yeah, he wrote this stuff too;

Nice collection. It's fun to try to recognize every disc. BTW, I don't see properly the disc(s) in between the Applausus CD and the Festetics. Are two Denon CDs?

It's missing SQs from Op 50 and 76 which are the best to me.  Okay I should say favorite not best. 

Anyway, what are your favorite performers for Haydn's SQs Tonito?

[Antoine Marchand]

It's missing SQs from Op 50 and 76 which are the best to me.  Okay I should say favorite not best. 

Anyway, what are your favorite performers for Haydn's SQs Tonito?

As a complete cycle (from the Op. 9): the Festetics, hands down.

[Gurn Blanston]

No, the 2 Ricercar disks of the Baryton Octets. I got the singles before that nice double was released...

Now playing:
Concilium musicum Wien \ Angerer "auf Originalinstrumenten" - Hob 01 008 Symphony in G 2nd mvmt - Andante

Anyway, what are your favorite performers for Haydn's SQs Tonito?

Yes, on your first premise, Op 50 is my #1 favorite, Op 76 my #2.

As a complete cycle (from the Op. 9): the Festetics, hands down.

And there you have it, I'm 3 for 3 this afternoon.

I've only played Haydn twice in the last 6 months, and both times it was Op.64/1, the one with no formal slow movement: good morning music!

[karlhenning]

Do you know the Trumpet Concerto?  It's apt to be overplayed on that special sort of classical radio station which thinks its mission is to serve as background in dentists' waiting rooms . . . but is nonetheless a charming, delicious concerto.

[DavidW]

I know the trumpet concerto, it is a nice piece... but blasphemy! I prefer M. Haydn's trumpet concerto.

[karlhenning]

(* wringing of hands [my own] *)

[Gurn Blanston]

I know the trumpet concerto, it is a nice piece... but blasphemy! I prefer M. Haydn's trumpet concerto.

Meh...

A nice piece? I was thinking more like totally unique, taking maximum advantage of the potential of an instrument that no one had even heard before, least of all himself. I bet the chap who commissioned it, the inventor of the keyed trumpet, Anton Weidinger, got all that he bargained for and more when he took delivery! In addition to the technical challenges )which still exist for a modern trumpeter!), it is musically on the leading edge of concerto design at the time (1796).

Blasphemer.  0:)

It's one of the nominees on the "Favorite (non Keyboard) Concertos" thread even as we speak.

Speaking of blasphemy, Gurn,  you'd better not look at the Favorite Symphonies thread  too closely.

Oh my, has the Haydn 101 fallen on hard times?  I nominated it but have not participated in the thread since.
