Haydn is my favorite composer, this entire symphony is a masterpiece but the last two movements are totally on another level.

Gran sinfonía del Clasicismo, a la misma altura de las más grandes de Beethoven. La interpretación de la orquesta y la dirección del 1º y 4º movimientos es impecable. El 3º movimiento... innecesariamente rápido, lo que pone en serios apuros a la orquesta en varios momentos tanto en el Minueto como en el Trío.

Здесь мне импонирует все без исключения - само произведение Гайдна, оркестр Галисии, дирижер Дм.
Слободенюк. Музыка Гайдна всегда завораживает и звучит мягко с очень плавными переходами от темы
к теме как рассказ о чем-то важном и интересном. К оркестру и дирижеру у меня давно особое отношение,
они мне импонируют. Более того, они мне нравятся, и я стараюсь следить за их достижениями. Ну а Гайдн
это как контрольная работа. И они сдали ее на отлично. Привет из Киева. Спасибо.

Dima is unbelievable. He is not generic. He is not afraid of brass or percussion. He adjusts the tempo to reflect his interpretation. I am so happy I found him.

Bravo superbe, vive la musique!Clarte, rigueur, souplesse, j adore!

[mikezinn]

This orchestra absolutely excels in all they play, Captured the all the humour, vibrancy and passion that Haydn is so unique for. BRAVO!

[jiadongma]

This orchestra plays this music with very clear balance and  rich sound. Great performance!

[martinlee]

A most vivacious performance! In 1973 I took my O Level Music examination, for which I had studied this symphony as well as J. S. Bach's Double Violin Concerto, Mozart's "The Marriage Of Figaro" and Britten's "Four Sea Interludes". I got a Grade 3!

This, for me, is the definitive version of this symphony. I have heard a good six or seven versions, some with the intensity of expression of this version, others with the exhilarating tempi, but this is the one I'll take most from. I'm lucky enough to be conducting this symphony in 2 months time - I'll definitely be using this as 'revision', so to speak!

[marctaras]

Played with passion, energy and sensitivity. Nice to hear a performance like this which creates interest and excitement and never sounds boring.

[jesuszavalaaylas]

Excelente orquesta, excelente interpretación, muy rescatable el baterista con que presicion interviene en la obra.

[PedroGARCIA-zkse]

Excelente sinfonía y la interpretación me gusto mucho

[hectorricardovegagutierrez]

Magnífica versión de una de mis sinfonías favoritas. Excelente orquesta y un gran director. Felicidades gallegos y saludos desde México.

[notaire]

Listening to some of the performances by this well-trained orchestra, I really feel it can respond to almost all the classical works as excellently as most of the major orchestras. This beautiful and lively performance of the last and most sophisticated symphony by Haydn is a good example thereof. Simply wonderful!

[Flashgordon]

Che meraviglia, Haydn era un extraterrestre.

[sevkiye]

Stylish and excellent, the benefits of period performance practice brought to the modern symphony orchestra. Timpani balanced ideally in the mix, full of attack and presence. Invigorating.

[minaskapetanakis]

Bravo maestro! Wonderful tempi exquisite accents.

[ivanbeshkov]

The slow movement is one of my favorite Haydn pieces. I prefer enjoying symphonic movements individually.

[michaelscribe]

Utterly clear, vigorous, and in the present tense, where music must always be.

[ignaciofaus]

It seems to me that the beginning of this symphony was the inspiration for the beginning of the second beethoven symphony.
