Great Recordings on Alpha Classics, Vol. 1

This upstart label boasts a roster of sharp conductors and ensembles, as well as inspired programming. They intend to record all of Haydn's symphonies, and they are letting the project breathe, juxtaposing Haydn's first Sturm und Drang symphony with works by Gluck that were gaining ground at the same time in Vienna. When ambition meets vision, you've got a label to watch.
