Review Excerpts
The three
symphonies on this disc show both Haydn's ingenious use of pre-existing
material and his dramatic skill, cultivated through extensive
experience in writing for the stage at Esterhaza.. and the Northern
Chamber Orchestra's powerful, idiomatic performance immediately
establishes Nicholas Ward's strong feeling for Haydn's musical
language..excellent orchestral balance contributes to the NCO's
outstanding performance, in which abundant energy and finely
judged detail make compulsive listening. At super-budget price
this exceptional Haydn disc is a genuine bargain.
Gramophone,
May 1995
This is a
captivating Haydn Triptych from the Northern Chamber Orchestra
under Nicholas Ward.
