It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: 88-90

> A young Andras Schiff doing #17 & #18 on MHS with Sandor Vegh

I agree with your recommendation. I've had that recording for years. I just got their recording of # 22 & 23 as a used CD. Vegh was a gold standard Mozart conductor.

There are lots of fine performances of 17. I recently listened to Bilson / Gardiner and continue to value that performance highly. Peter Serkin / Schneider is another long term favorite. So many other great ones too.

> I will say that #88, oddly enough, is one of my least favorite Haydn works.

Well, there are lots of recordings of 88. You often get a performance of 88 when you acquire a less often recorded piece of music. I wound up with 15 performances that I kept. The only complete dud (long sold) was a Furtwangler on DG coupled with a Schubert 9 which was also a dud.

I'm listening to Jochum / BPO right now and loving it. I also like Brueggen, Frank, Glover, Rattle / BPO, Reiner, Scherchen, Szell and Walter.
