I have purchased a lot of Mr. Paquin's LP to CD transfers, and his work is outstanding. These recordings have never sounded so good. If you love Haydn (how can you not?), you have to have the transfers of the Max Goberman series. IMHO, these are the finest performances of Haydn symphonies ever recorded. The transfers seem to be taken directly from the original LP reissues, and not the rotten CBS/Odyssey reissues which suppressed the center channel information. Mr. Paquin's transfers have restored the balance of the originals. Wait until you hear how Goberman balances his orchestra! After Goberman, Dorati, Fischer, Goodman seem deadly dull. Pity fate did not permit Goberman the time to complete the series. "Rodney DeCecco" <[log in to unmask]>
