Bill Strother Said: >Thomas Beecham was also a fine Haydn conductor, and he left us all 12 >London Symphonies. Bill's right Beecham's performances are amazing. But beware of tape hiss and altered scores. However one thing I've noticed is that there is no one overall recomendation for all the symphonies.The best version varies between works. Beecham's 102,101 and 103 are, in my view, the best versions of these works. Here's a taster of some more Londonish Symphonies... 90 Kuijken Virgin 91 Davis Philips 92 Groves IMP 93 Davis Philips 94 Robert Hayden-Clark Collins Classics (who's he!) 95 Solti Decca 96 Davis Philips 97 Prague Philharmonic without conductor Supraphon 98 Ditto 99 Solti Decca 100 Robert Hayden-Clark Collins Classics 104 Groves IMP Bob Draper [log in to unmask]
