Invaluable lectures and commentary thank you 🎉

This is completely delightful. Haydn is my desert island music, and I listen to it constantly.

[@journeymancellist9247]

The piano trio sounds like Schubert! Amazing!

[@stephenmarmer543]

My favorite composer had always been Bach and my classical music friend’s favorite had been Haydn. Your lectures on both expanded our lists of favorites. Thank you

[@georgeshannouche548]

I never enjoyed a video as this one. I love Hayden’s music and Michael Parloff is great. Thanks for this beautiful work

[@adagietto2523]

This must be one of the best talks that I have ever heard about a composer!

Most enlightening and entertaining. What a rare gift.

Mr. Parloff, what an amazing story-teller you are, and what an amazing story you've told us. You have inspired me to search out Papa's music from the eloquent examples you shared. I dig your humour, you rascal!💐

Thank you, Mr. Chabanowich. You made my day!

Michael. If you have any history on Michael Haydn, I would love to hear it. Thank you

Excellent postscript

Mr. Parloff, my sincere thanks for your excellent presentations. I've been a music teacher for 28 years now and always recommend your lectures to my students (the Shostakovich lecture is particularly popular with them). One question if I may, which recording of The Creation is in your presentation? KZbin identifies it as the Bruggen recording but they don't always get it correct. Thank you again.

[@michaelparloff1155]

Thank you, Mr. Rogers, for your kind note. I reused some of the audio clips from the Creation from previous lecture I've given about Haydn, and so I don't recall exactly which recordings I used. That said, I believe that Colin Davis conducted the excerpt from "Chaos" at the beginning of the oratorio. The "Let There Be Light" excerpt (in English) was also a British conductor and ensemble, possibly Roger Norrington). The video clip of the fugal passage from Part Three was from a wonderful performance conducted by Adam Fisher, which he recorded in the Eisenstadt Esterhazy Palace. It is available on KZbin.

@@michaelparloff1155 Thank you, that helps. :)

Trivia question with which I stump my students: “What great American statesman was born the same year as Haydn?” To which the reply is invariably,” Ummmm, when was Haydn born?” (1732) the answer is George Washington.
