The Haydn 2032 project of conductor Giovanni Antonini is an ambitious undertaking, with plans to record all of the composer's symphonies by 2032. They are divided by theme rather than being plowed through chronologically, usually with relevant works by other composers added on. Here, the "extra" composer is Haydn himself, who revised a puppet-show overture into an alternate finale for one of the present symphonies. The Symphony No. 53 in D major, Hob. 1/53, was given the nickname "L'Impériale" ("The Imperial") by someone other than Haydn, but it is accurate enough for the imposing, timpani-backed opening. In fact, all three of the works here make unusual use of the brass, and they are well suited to Antonini's high-powered, large-orchestra approach. That approach is all to the good; there is no reason to think Haydn wouldn't have wanted as large an orchestra as he could get. It may diminish some of the humor in the slow movements, but it is not that Antonini is incapable of humor; sample the finale of the Symphony No. 33 in C major, Hob. 1/33, which here is about as riotously deceptive as it has ever been. The works are recorded with all repeats, but they never grow tiring. A strong entry in Antonini's ambitious series, this made classical best-seller lists in the late summer of 2023.
