"Joy is unconfined in Bernstein's view of Haydn" (Bernard Jacobson)
"This is music, and music-making, that belongs not in a historicist museum, but in a living tradition." (Bernard Jacobson)
Bernstein's complete Haydn recordings for DG: four symphonies (including the Sinfonia concertante) and the acclaimed interpretation of The Creation (sung in German).
In addition we include the Mass "In Time Of War", recorded for Philips - a work of symbolic significance for Bernstein.

New booklet notes by the distinguished US critic Bernard Jacobson.
