Angel Records, 2001 Fantastic 'Seasons' This is a digital remastering of a stereo recording from 1973. Herbert von Karajan used two soloists from his 1960's recording of "Die Schopfung" ("The Creation"), Walter Berry and Gundula Janowitz. Both are superb--as is Werner Hollweg. This is a unique oratorio in that it is both secular and sacred with considerable (I'd estimate almost 50%) dialogue among the solosists. There is of ...             Haydn: The Seasons7 reviews Dietrich Henschel, Franz Joseph Haydn, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2004 Good performance of Haydn I have always loved Haydn's masses and chamber music, as an amateur performer, listener and student of composition. However, performances of his symphonies have frequently left me somewhat indifferent. Important works, yes, and individually some fine performances by various artists, but not in the same class for me as those of Mozart or Beethoven. I am a big fan of Baroque music and own ...             Haydn: The Seasons6 reviews Martti Talvela, Franz Joseph Haydn, ... Dg Imports, 1998 Right on Par with Karajan's Schöpfung (Creation) Not too long after hearing Karajan's version of Die Schöpfung (The Creation), I got this recording of Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons) conducted by Karl Böhm. The chief competitor for The Seasons seems to be the Neville Marriner set. I have yet to hear the Marriner version, yet I have every confidence that the choral singing, orchestral playing, and acoustics are quite refined on that recording.

It's the poetry of the body, flesh aspiring to grace or inviting the spirit in to visit."

Archiv Prod Import, 1992 Our Finest Living Conductor Joseph Haydn lived too long and too well, for which his reputation has suffered. He can't compete as a romantic hero with Mozart, whose tragic early death amounted to apotheosis, or Beethoven, the Promethean rebel, also tragic because of his deafness. So Papa Haydn has been taken for a mere fashionable servant of patronage, however skillful, and his music performed accordingly. Not by everyone, ...             60 Best-Loved Classics Antonio Vivaldi, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

EMI Classics, 2003 A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pieces. Of particular quality is the recording of Gregorio Allegri's MISERE MEI DEUS, a piece composed at the end of the Renaissance era. This piece, lasting roughly 13 minutes, ...             Haydn: The Seasons1 review Franz Joseph Haydn, Thomas Beecham, ... EMI Classics, 2005 Glorious This is a glorious, rich reading of this master work. Beecham draws a beautiful choral sound from his group and the orchestra is vintage excellence. Well worth having!             Haydn: The Seasons2 reviews Franz Joseph Haydn, Sigiswald Kuijken, ... Angel Records, 1999 Reissue of 1990 recording I haven't heard Gardiner's version of the Seasons on Archiv (out of print) so can't compare. But this is as good as Gardiner's Creation. Kuijken's takes on oratorio material are always instrumentally a delight and this is no exception. Only black mark - no texts as usual with these Virgin 2-for-1 sets.             Haydn: Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons)1 review Stephan MacLeod, Franz Joseph Haydn, ... Naxos, 2006 Haydn's "The Seasons" on Naxos Haydn composed his oratorios "The Creation" and "The Seasons" late in life under the great influence of Handel following his trips to London in the 1790s. Haydn was at the height of his powers with his 104 symphonies already behind him. Last year Naxos released an outstanding version of "The Creation" with Andreas Sperring conducting the Capella Augustina. Naxos has followed-up this release ...             Haydn: The Masterworks (40 CD Box Set)3 reviews Franz Joseph Haydn, Klaus Mertens, ... Brilliant Classics, 2004 Franz Joseph Haydn discovered! Not so familiar with the various editions of Franz Joseph Haydn's works, I can only say that this set has helped me discover his genius and charm. Hitherto, I had thought him to be something like a "precursor" of Mozart and van Beethoven. This is simply not true! F. J. Haydn has his own unique style, lively, surprising, ingenious, charming, never aggressive. History reports that F. J. Haydn was ...             Haydn: Die Jahreszeiten3 reviews Denis Vigay, Franz Joseph Haydn, ... Philips, 1994 Haydn in late Winter Haydn's "The Seasons" is wonderful music. Composed towards the end of Haydn's long and illustrious musical life, Haydn didn't hesitate to utilize thematic material from other works of his (including from his surprise symphony). Haydn's choral music is lively and cheerful for the most part. One of the interesting aspects of Haydn is his ability to take the styles of the past and mold them ...             Miriam Meyer/James Taylor/Ralf Lucas: Haydn - Die Jahreszeiten Haydn, Meyer Farao Records, 2009             Chorus: Masterworks of choral music (18th-20th centuries) (Les chefs-d'oeuvre de la musique chorale) - RIAS ...
