That's the price of fame for the relatives.  But, Michael is a fine
composer whose discography is skewed toward the symphonies.  I have a
fair sampling of his discography, and the chamber and choral music take
no back seat to the symphonies.  The jewel of my Haydn collection is a
L'Archibudelli/Sony disc of three of Michael's string quintets.  If you
like classical era string chamber music on period instruments, you can't
miss with the Sony.
