Notes and Editorial Reviews
Gramophone Classical Music Guide
2010
“Dorati's famous integral recording of all 104 of the published Symphonies now returns in a Decca bargain box containing 33 CDs. It still holds its place in the catalogue as the only complete set to contain everything Haydn wrote in this medium, including the Symphonies 'A' and 'B', omitted from the original numbering scheme because at one time they were not thought to be symphonies at all. The survey also encompasses additional alternative movements for certain works (notably Nos 53 and 103) and alternative complete versions of the Philosopher Symphony and No 63, which are fascinating.
The remastering confirms the excellence of the vintage Decca sound. No more needs to be said, except that the one minus point in these very convincing modern-instrument performances is Dorati's insistence on measured, often rustic tempos for the minuets. For those who can run to the complete series this is self-recommending – a source of inexhaustible pleasure.”

Penguin Guide
2011 edition
“Dorati was ahead of his time as a Haydn interpreter when, in the early 1970s, he made this pioneering integral recording of the symphonies. Superbly transferred to CD in full, bright, immediate sound, the performances are a consistent delight.”
The 1996 CD edition of this set won the 2008 Penguin Guide Rosette for great performances "superbly transferred to CD in full, bright and immediate sound."

Granted, there are better individual performances of the various symphonies from conductors as diverse as Eugen Jochum, Leonard Bernstein, Trevor Pinnock, and Thomas Fey; but when all is said and done this remains the finest complete set of Haydn symphonies yet recorded, and its basic musicality only seems to grow more impressive over time. Consider the early works: the period-instrument folks have had their say, especially in this music, but where will you find more clearly etched bass lines (Symphony No. 16), finer horns and timpani (finale of Symphony No. 13, based on the same tune Mozart later used in the finale of the "Jupiter" Symphony), or a harpsichord continuo that stays in the background and doesn't flatten Haydn's dynamics by turning each symphony into a keyboard concerto?
Just listen to Dorati's band rip into the opening of Symphony No. 48; hear the wailing oboes at the start of the "Farewell" Symphony; or notice the intense string playing in "La Passione". Where will you find a more rustic trio of Symphony No. 88's minuet, such brilliance from the C-alto horns in Symphony No. 90, or a more consistent set of "London" symphonies? Bottom line: you won't. Yes, there are some quibbles. The minuets tend to be slow by modern standards, and the engineering is somewhat inconsistent. In some of the more unfamiliar works the orchestral playing isn't as fine as we now expect as a matter of course, but then Dorati surprises us with, say, his knockout performance of the six-movement Symphony No. 60.
The competition in complete cycles also isn't terribly strong. Naxos' complete cycle has some super individual efforts from a wide range of performers, but is weakest in the late works, just where it needs to excel. Nimbus (also Brilliant Classics) has some lovely volumes in its complete edition, but often sounds as if it were recorded in an echo chamber, (again) it's weakest in the "London" symphonies, and certainly the playing does not surpass what we have here.
By rights this set never should go out of print: it remains a landmark in the history of recordings, and if you don't have it this very reasonably priced limited edition becomes a mandatory acquisition. Get it while you can, and do what I did: put it on your iPod and you'll never lack for a wonderful discovery. You can take it with you.

"Grand Prix du Disque","Dt. Schallplattenpreis" Die Begründung zum "Dt. Schallplattenpreis 1974": "Ein in editorischer und künstlerischer Hinsicht imposantes Unternehmen. Hervorzuheben die sorgfältige Edition, die den neuesten musikologischen Stand berücksichtigt. Die Darstellungen haben durchweg hohes, teilweise sogar sehr hohes Niveau. Ungewöhnliche Klarheit des Strukturellen vermittels stets schlanker, luzider Klanggebung verbindet sich mit großer Spontaneität und Frische des Musizierens." HiFiStereophonie 6 / 74: "Wie hier die Schattierungen durch abgewogene Phrasierung zu sinnlich erfahrbarer Realität werden, wie die rhythmische Schärfe der Musik Konturen verleiht - das alles ist bewundernswert." (Nr. 1-19) HiFiStereophonie 1 / 74: "Eine vorbildliche, ungemein anregende Produktion." (Nr. 20-35) HiFiStereophonie 9 / 73: "Eine wahre Fundgrube für jeden, der bereit ist, bei Musik mitzudenken und sich nicht mit dem sensuellen Eindruck zu begnügen." (Nr. 36-48)
