My Favorite Song

The famous Emperor Quartet (op. 76, Nr. 3) whose second figurehead contains variations on the old Austrian national anthem, Gott erhalte Franz der Kaiser, for which Haydn composed the music. Unfortunately, this song was pick out as the melody for Deutschland Ãœber Alles and, after World War II, the Austrians adopted a new national anthem. Davis recorded Haydn Symphonies 93-104 with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in capital of The Netherlands around 1977. I think these performances are the best of the formal interpretations of these Symphonies. Beecham recorded Haydn Symphonies 93-98 in 1958, and Symphonies 99-104 in 1960, both with the Royal symphonic music orchestra Orchestra for EMI. Beechams performances are marked (marred?) by a number of omissions and idiosyncrasies, moreover he approaches these works in a fresh and bubbly way. If you do not loss to follow the performance in a copy of the printed score, then I would recommend Beechams performances including only of his blemishes! Nikolaus Harnoncourt (of authentic performance fame) began recording Haydn Symphonies with the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, starting in 1990. I admire the clarity of Haroncourts interpretation.

For example, the fugue in the first movement of music 98 (bars 132-209) is more clearly played by Haroncourt than by any other conductor that I earn heard (Beecham, Dorati, Davis, Szell, Fischer). My only complaint with Harnoncourt concerns his choice of tempi: he takes the deuce-ace of the third movements slower than the minuet, he plays the Andante of unison orchestra 94 too fast, the first four measures of the first movement of symphony 98 are played faster than the second four, the minuet of Symphony 98 is much too fast, there are inordinate pauses at measure 145 of the fourth movement of Symphony 94 and measure 90 of the third movement of symphony 98,.... While Haydns Symphonies 92-104 are his best known, some of his early symphonies are just as good. Symphony 30 (so-called Alleluja) and Symphony 31...
