There is so much to like about this gorgeous video. But I'd just like to say thank you for this exquisitely beautiful and spirited performance of one of my favourite Haydn symphonies. The standing ovation at the end was so very well deserved.
OK, Audio Tech, I give up. I absolutely KNOW it’s a single overhead AB stereo because you’ve caught the orchestra’s own balance, warmth, delicacy and beauty perfectly. But I CAN’T FIND THE MIC(s).! Well done indeed. (Rtd., senior studio audio tech for 40 years.)
Unfortunately, Google Translate has referred to this symphony as a ‘song’ which is one of the most ridiculed mutations of the English language today. Haydn did not request the slow movement at his funeral, and due to circumstances (very hot weather and the French invasion of Vienna) Haydn was buried very quickly and simply, though at a memorial service a couple of weeks later, they played Mozart’s Requiem. The story linking the Adagio from Symphony 44 to Haydn’s funeral is entirely apocryphal, fictitious, and it 100% never happened. Why of all composers does Haydn carry such a baggage of spurious nonsense ?

하이든이 사후에 연주되기를 바랬던곡ㅡ너무 감동적인 연주 감사합니다
그래서 더 깊이가 느껴지는 곡입니다. 감사합니다.
