Jesus! I forgot the Czech Philharmonic!!! I could I have missed them?
It is true that HIP orchestras are in a category by themselves and need
to be judged on that basis. On the other hand, I love CSO Haydn and
Bernstein's Haydn with the NYPO. I guess I don't have HIP ears. I will
be interested in your reactions when I review the next CALA release which
includes Stokowski doing a Haydn symphony.
