I haven't heard Bamert in these but I have a number of the Contemporaries
of Mozart series that Don mentioned and on that evidence, I would imagine
they're stylishly and energetically played.  I have one CD of Farberman's
versions which I like very much, although I believe he has tinkered with
the scoring.  I also have a couple of CDs of other orchestral music of
Michael Haydn on cpo played by Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss conducted
by Johannes Goritzki.  These are excellent IMHO.
