Indeed it is - I copied it from a friend a few weeks ago and have
liked very much what I heard so far - symphonies nos 1-6. Very
"classical" interpretations, swift tempi and lots of Haydn-esque
esprit. I never cared that much for nos 5 and 6, but Immerseel made
me "get" them now. And the orchestral playing is in a different
league from the Hanover Band, too. And this sparkling, cheerful,
witty no 3!

Cheers,

When you decide to get the set, do read the very simple
booklet that comes with it. While the English translation
is as concise as it can be, the French (which I take to be
the original) goes on in some detail the performance
practices used - the texts, the size of orchestra, instruments,
playing pitch etc. Interesting stuff for those who care.


The real original notes (with the original Sony set) were written in German by
Ulrich Hübner, in French by Jos van Immerseel and Yves Senden, in English by
James Munro, Martin Root, Alan Emslie, Jane Gower, and in Dutch by Johannes
Leertouwer and Maarten van Weverwijk. I have no idea what's left of these
articles in the Sony France reissue.
