Haydn Joseph Franz

Hi, I need help with classical music selections, and since you guys helped me out so much with Jazz selections, I have decided to ask for your help once again. I have become really intereseted in Violin Sonatas and Trio Sonatas (specifically Violin, Keyboard, & Cello) by Haydn and was wondering what some of the better recorded cd's are. I have no idea where to begin, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Petrty11. The following suggestions are for the performance -- but the recordings are mostly good enough. There is a complete Trios recording by Philips (9 CDs) with the Beaux-Arts Trio. IMO, better performances of certain trios are:
Trios 22-25; T Mathiot (pf), A Manze (v), Jaap ter Linden (cello) / Erato
Trios 25-27 / 32-34 / 35-36 (a different CD for each); P Cohen (pf), E. Hobarth (v), C Coin (cello). On Harmonia Mundi, good recording.
Trios 42-44: R Levin (pf), V Beths (v), A. Bijlsma (cello) / Sony Classical.
You may want to give Symphonies 88, 95, 101 a listen (if you haven't already). IMO, F. Reiner/Chicago S O (RCA) is a good performance.
Cheers!
