This is a very good box set with all 104 Symphonies plus Symphonies A and B and the Sinfonia Concertante (not listed on the box). They were recorded in the Haydnsaal over a fifteen year period and although both the performing style and recorded sound changed over that time this is not so much a problem as to be expected. The only reason for not giving five stars is that although the set comes with a general booklet about the composer, conductor, orchestra and recording project, there are no notes on the symphonies themselves, which would help clarify a large number of similar works!

THIS FAMOUS SET IS SELF-RECOMMENDING REALLY. THE ONLY ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS THAT ANYONE WANTING A COMPLETE SET OF THESE SYMPHONIES SHOULD CHECK OUT ON WHAT IS AVAILABLE, AND MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS WHICH INTERPRETATIONS BEST SUIT THEM. BUT THESE FISCHER RECORDINGS HAVE A LOT GOING FOR THEM, AND IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE THAT ANYONE OPTING FOR THIS SET WILL FEEL DISAPPOINTED.

This set is incredible. It's ALL of Haydn's symphonies (100+) at a reasonable price. While I'm not an expert, in my estimation the performances are uniformly beautiful and recorded very well.
