- Madacy Does It Again!
As a classical music enthusiast, it's often thrilling and frustrating to find discs that exceed or barely register your expectations. Madacy has issued a brilliantly recorded disc of Haydn's work and every note is crystal clear (and, hey, it's at a great price as well). The only drawback to this album is that it does not contain the wonderful "Toy Symphony", however, that is more than made up for by the other selections and the clarity in which they are heard. If you're looking for a substantial collection at a great price for Haydn's work, this is the disc. Order it, it's well worth the wait!
