Customer Reviews
Very fast, but extremely energetic
The first time I listened to this recording, for the first few seconds of No. 70 I thought the tempo was ridiculously fast, even laughable. But I kept listening and I was hooked by the energy of the whole thing. Thomas Fey takes it fast not to show off how fast his orchestra can play, but because he genuinely has a lot of energy for this music and it's infectious. Other recordings now sound too slow to me, like Bela Drahos on Naxos. For No. 75, Fey's performance is also fast, but I also like the slower performance by Helmut Muller-Bruhl on Naxos. I haven't listened to No. 73 "La Chasse" as much, I tend to prefer Haydn's lesser known works. This disc is worth it for No. 70 alone. It is such a good performance it even inspired me to write a Symphony in D major.
