2009 seven CD set. Honoring the 200th anniversary of Franz Joseph Haydn's death, internationally-acclaimed conductor Bruno Weil pays homage to the 'Father of the Symphony.' On this seven-disc set, Weil and Tafelmusik masterfully explore 21 of Haydn's finest mature symphonies (including all six of the 'Paris' Symphonies). Bruno Weil's tempi are apt, the orchestra is ideal and the sensitivity to details of phrasing and dynamics show an obvious love for Haydn's work. This release truly sets new standards in Haydn's repertoire.
