HutchFan Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Hermann Scherchen - The 1950s Haydn Symphonies Recordings (DG, 2003) Recordings originally made for Westminster with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and Wiener Symphoniker Disc 3: Symphonies No. 93; No. 94 "The Surprise"; and No. 104 "London" I was reading in the liner notes that, at the time of their release, musicologist H. C. Robbins Landon described these recordings as "brilliant, intellectual, honest, uncompromising, and eccentric." I'd say those words sum up Scherchen's music-making in general.
