The article comments on the contribution made by the artist Franz Joseph Haydn in the field of music. Haydn's Symphony No. 7 is not only interesting to the historian with its unusual procedures but very engaging as something to listen to and the symphony No. 8 has got lovely slow movement. They are well played by a Viennese chamber orchestra. The recorded sound is good. On another record are the Symphonies Nos. 87 and 89, the first a small-scale work in Haydn's mature style, with an especially fine slow movement, the second less good. Haydn was one of the great creative artists in music, but this doesn't mean that everything he wrote was a masterpiece.
