Try the various Scherchen renditions, which were originally issued on Westminister. He recorded a complete set of the London Symphonies as well as other individual works. His version of Symphony 44 in E minor, The Trauer, is an inspired presentation. Monteux offers two great performances of the Clock & Surprise on RCA. Happy listening.
Haydn Symphonies
Other than the obvious Dorati/Decca complete symphony set, which is uniformly excellent at budget price, what other Haydn symphony CDs are worth getting. I also have the budget price Davis/Phillips London symphony set, and the Kuijken/Virgin Paris symphony set. There are many other versions now as well as remastered older sets, what do other members recommend?
