These include Haydn symphonies 100\n(“Military”), 101 (“The Clock”) and 104 (“London”), and Mozart symphonies\n38 (“Prague”), 39 and 41 (“Jupiter”).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nDuring the early part of his career Horenstein’s favoured symphonies by\nHaydn were no. 82, “The Bear”, and no. 86, characteristically adventurous\nchoices for a period when the composer was better known by the later London\nsymphonies. He also made an early and greatly admired recording of no. 94,\n“Surprise” (PASC 506), a work he appears never to have conducted on any\nother occasion. Haydn’s 101 and 104 first appeared in his schedule when he\nrecorded them for Vox Records in 1957, and while the “Clock” symphony for a\ntime was a regular item in his concerts, he never did the “London” symphony\nagain. Later he added no. 100 and others to his repertoire but judging by\nthe number of times he performed them, his favourites were no. 82 “The\nBear” followed by no. 85 “La Reine”, though only the latter survives in an\noff-air recording and still awaits publication.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAlthough he conducted the four popular Mozart operas, the symphonies and\nother works on multiple occasions, sometimes with great success,\nHorenstein’s only commercial recordings of Mozart, again excluding the\nvocal works, are those he made for Vox Records in Vienna during the\ncomposer’s bicentenary year in 1956. It is unclear why the G-minor no. 40\nwas not included in this project. Also preserved but still unpublished are\nseveral off-air recordings of the Mozart symphonies taken from live\nbroadcasts, including nos. 29, 31, 35, 39, and a fiery, agitated G-minor\nno. 40, by far his favourite of the canon judging by the number of times he\nconducted it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nHorenstein’s approach to both Haydn and Mozart was anchored to its era but\neven during his time it aroused conflicting reactions. His Haydn was often\nconsidered “beautiful and spiritually satisfying”, while others thought his\n“wholly unconventional” performances made him “one of the finest Mozart\nconductors of our time”. But some took a strongly contrary view. His tempi\nwere considered problematic in repertoire from the Classical era, his\nperformances were dull, austere, unsmiling or pedantic with sluggish\nrhythms that lacked tension and drive, or the playing criticized as sloppy,\nsleepy or laboured. “He can’t handle Mozart”, wrote a critic in Berlin.\nBoth views accompanied him in this repertoire throughout his career.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nDeliberate of pace, majestic and thoughtful, Horenstein’s recordings of the\nHaydn symphonies seem to bring Beethoven to mind. They are today considered\nlarge-scale performances although in music of this type he invariably used\na reduced string section. This can be heard to great effect in the slow\nmovement of the “Clock” symphony where the first flute rings out\nexpressively over the violins, almost like a flute concerto. Horenstein’s\nforwardly placed woodwinds, reminiscent of Klemperer and with beneficial\neffect on colour, shading and tonal balance, can be heard to great\nadvantage in all the recordings of this series.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMozart conducted by Horenstein is taut, serious and dramatic, with brisk,\nlively rhythms in the outer fast movements, lyrical, poetic and warm in the\nslow inner sections. As a general rule his Mozart can be characterized as\nstrong, virile and anti-romantic. Striking in the “Jupiter” is its\nlightness of touch, and the assertive energy and exuberance of the first\nmovement; the long lines of sighing strings in the melancholy \u003ci\u003eAndante\u003c\/i\u003e; the\ndancing, peasant-like lilt in the \u003ci\u003eMenuetto \u003c\/i\u003eand the exceptional clarity of\nline and texture in the contrapuntal \u003ci\u003eFinale\u003c\/i\u003e. Some attributes that\ndistinguish Horenstein’s style are inner energy and drive, forward motion,\nattention to detail within the phrase, grace and elegance and a general\nsense of purpose and aim.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMisha Horenstein\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHORENSTEIN \u003c\/b\u003eHaydn \u0026amp; Mozart Symphonies, Vol. 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHAYDN \u003c\/b\u003eSymphony No.101 in D major, Hob.I:101, \"Clock\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. 1st mvt. - Adagio - Presto  (7:15)\u003cbr\u003e2. 2nd mvt. - Andante  (8:06)\u003cbr\u003e3. 3rd mvt. - Minuet - Trio.
