The Austrian‐Hungarian Haydn Philharmonic already bears its expertise for the music of Joseph Haydn in its name. In their latest recording, the renowned orchestra, with musicians from all over the world, presents works by their namesake alongside music by his younger brother Michael. The latter easily stands up to comparison: under Enrico Onofri's refreshing conducting style, the two highly talented brothers prove to be absolutely on par.
