I have never found them dull if you focus on phrasing and articulation rather than just tempo. You get Haydn Symphonies Nos. 88-92 plus the Sinfonia concertante (check out the wonderful and rarely heard No. 90), and Mozart’s Symphonies Nos. 29, 35, 38-41, Eine kleine Nachtmusik, the Sinfonia concertante K297b, the Masonic Funeral Music, and a first rate account of the Requiem (the quartet of soloists led by Edith Mathis)–all with the Vienna Philharmonic.
Too bad they didn't include his account of "The Seasons". Still the
No. 1 pick despite much HIP competition.

Oy. I thought subscribers were permitted to post one Insider review on any site of their choosing during the week of their renewal? Lookit, I am not posting every review you or David or Jed write; it was a one-off. It happens to be, therefore, that I thought it was an innocent "repurposing", that I'm _helping_ your site by contributing a free advertisement and tacitly enjoining others to talk about it. But you can be sure that was the last time. Because, I am not a crook. (And I don't want Lebrecht coming on here next upbraiding me.)
