Haydn is the father of the symphony. His music is amazing in harmony, grace and elegance. Viva Haydn a true genius of music that gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure and haunting music. Bravissimo.

Fine early symphony. One of the best in the 1-20 set I would say.

There is not really a weak symphony* at all in the group of 1 to 20, though we should remember that they are all early works that in many cases pre-date Haydn’s appointment at Eszterhaza in 1761.
Also, there are some badly misnumbered symphonies which should be included in this ‘early’ group as well, for example: 32, 33, 36, 37 (actually Haydn’s second symphony c. 1758); 40 and 72 (all pre-1763).
If I had to pick any out, you could not ignore 3; 6,7 and 8 (Le Matin, Le Midi, Le Soir);12; 13; and 16, though there is much of interest in almost all the others too.
In short: it is virtually impossible to pick out ‘...one of the best’ of these early symphonies.
* The Haydn symphony - out of the total of 107 - that I might describe as his weakest, is the very early Symphony ‘A’ Hob. I:107 written c.1759.
