"With volume 5, Nimbus Records is one volume away from completing the entire collection of Haydn symphonies. Again, Adam Fischer conducts the Austo-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra and delivers a truly amazing listening experience.When I began my quest for a complete Haydn symphony collection, there were a few options. But this collection won out and I have not been disappointed with any of the volumes. Every CD is fully digital, from the recording to the mastering process. They are technically flawless.I don't profess to be a musical scholar so I cannot comment on the conducting, or the playing. I won't rant on about the choice to use modern instruments to play Haydn.All I will say is that I love music and that this volume, like the others in the collection are joy to listen to.In case you are wondering, according to Nimbus Records, the entire set should be finished sometime in October of 2001 - concluding with Volume 2."
