This is Volume 21 of Thomas Fey's survey of all the Haydn Symphonies. At this stage the credentials of the enterprise are well established. The first volume was issued in July 1999, and was received with glowing reviews. Each volume since has maintained the high standards of that first release, and this latest offering is no exception.

These are not 'pure' historically-correct performances. Instead, Thomas Fey and his players combine the better aspects of the Historically Informed Performance movement without slavishly following its every dictum. Most of the members of the Heidelburg Synphony have experience of 'authentic' performance styles in other ensembles, while some are conversant not only with the modern versions of their instruments but also with their historical predecessors. The brass and timpani players of the orchestra are in fact specialists in this field, and it is the fact that the orchestra's brass and timpani parts are invariably entrusted to original instruments which gives these recordings their special edge. None of this would be possible, of course, without Thomas Fey's input. His Haydn series is full of energy and drama and regularly challenges even the most hardened listener to think anew about these familiar works.

This latest volume consists of Symphonies 99 and 100, along with the Overture to L'incontro improvviso. Symphony 100 is known as the 'Military' symphony, the reason for which is immediately evident in this second movement.
