beginning the day with haydn is starting the morning off with a heavenly touch of beauty
All Haydn's recorded music would be my haul for a Desert island.
Why no comments? This is beautiful music!
The 2nd movement of the symphony no. 20 (adagio cantibile) is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. I wish I had written that. It could be used as background music for many occasions. I wonder how many people in this world have ever had the opportunity to hear this. Haydn outdid himself with this one. Mozart couldn't have done any better!!

John Zech I get your point, but Mozart and Haydn are not in competition with each other - and actually never were in their own lifetimes; the more you listen to the two composers, the more you will understand how completely different they are. Additionally, this symphony pre-dates even Haydn’s appointment at Eszterhaza in 1761; it was written between 1758 and 1760 so that would mean Mozart at the time being less than 4 years old. That said, you’re right; this quintessential Haydnesque movement is lovely, set in the middle of a very fine early symphony.
Awesome! Fantastic! I'm totally loving Haydn more and more!
This piece is so good that I'm very bored with the idea of trying others.
Haydn is the father of the symphony. His music is amazing in harmony, grace and elegance. Viva Haydn a true genius of music that gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure and haunting music. Bravissimo
Sheeeesh mashallah was ein beat junge
(1761-1762 ca) Come le altre opere nella stessa tonalità - ad eccezione delle sinfonie n.2 n.9 e n.25 - segue la regola di "do maggiore", evoluzione delle trombe e dei timpani,.tono marcatamente esultante, pomposo, da cerimonia di corte. Robbins Landon spinge la distinzione fino a considerare le sinfonie in do maggiore in una categoria a parte, stilisticamente più complessa e raffinata. LDC

Where's the timpani? Poorly recorded. Very thin sounding. No balls! Dorati is way better done and better recorded.
