Physical album buyers will get a clue as to the intentions of conductor Ádám Fischer on this 2023 release, the second in a Danish Chamber Orchestra series devoted to Haydn's 12 London symphonies. For Haydn's audiences, Fischer writes, "there was an atmosphere at his concerts that is only felt at rock concerts today." This is a good point, but Fischer's methods for achieving this atmosphere will be a matter of taste. In place of rock concert amplification, he uses really loud timpani, seemingly hit with a hard mallet. Paired with this are unusual string attacks, with a great variety of articulation and an overall punchy sound. It might seem busy, or it might be just the ticket, depending on one's perspective. Sample the outer movements to decide; Fischer is a bit more straightforward in the slow movements and minuets. Finally, as they were on Fischer's first album in the series, tempos are quick, raising the overall tension level. That first album was greeted with a variety of critical opinions, and this one probably will be similarly received. This is all to the good; these are genuinely adventurous Haydn recordings from the septuagenarian Fischer, and they made classical best-seller lists in the autumn of 2023. The sound from the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen is clear; it is a great improvement on the murky acoustic of Fischer's earlier recordings of these works on the Nimbus label with the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra.
