This is the best Haydn Symphony 104 I've heard......... RIP.

I knew of HIP instruments but never heard the music until I found some Loiseau Lyre Florilegiums.
Now I'm collecting them all.
Restored and craft-built "ancient" instruments are a delight to my ears, "single-ended" if you will.
In fact, I have my eyes on a Sackbut for the near future.

Sounded all wrong to lots of people when it came out. Now it sounds great. He did a number on us but at least in the case of the Mozart, it took some time.
. . . I always thought that the term "sackbut" referred to the person who played the instrument. ;-)
Certainly in my case and especially since my 65th year.

I completely missed the news that he was dead. I have many of his AAM recordings and those guided me into both period performance and the baroque repertoire.
Many thanks to Christoper Hogwood for that.

My December column, which of course I sent in weeks before he died, praises the L'Oiseau-Lyre "The Baroque Era" boxed set (Hogwood is on 30 of the 50 CDs), and included it in my every-few-years (or so) Holiday Gift Guide.
Arkivmusic.com (insert usual disclosures and disclaimers here) had graciously told me that they will maintain the sale pricing on that set through Christmas in view of my column coverage.
It's a fascinating counterpoint to the Deutsche Grammophon cubic box of last year!
I tell people to buy both, and to listen to them antiphonally, well, sequentially by CD is what I mean.
My HGG this year will be a Duesie!
ATB + RIP (already said that tho)

Arkivmusic.com - It's probably me doing something wrong, but I searched for "The Baroque Era" and found 100 items that weren't this box. And then searching for Christopher Hogwood found no items, but I ended up on a CH "profile" page.
I think it is the bees' knees, but, YMMV.

Thanks for helping me out with this. :-)
