Around 85% from Amazon sellers (very rarely straight from Amazon), and the rest primarily from MDT in the UK or occasionally Acoustic Sounds in the US. I'm also an Amazon seller--Classic CDs is my store name. There are no CD retailers in my town, but I do make occasional trips to Berkeley and SF to shop at Amoeba Music or Rasputin's.

Also mainly Amazon. zoverstocks often. But also direct from FIM and Ma recordings.
Cool. Possibly my favorite composer...tied with Bach...I think Hadyn discs now equal Bach at home...nearly all of his works that I could find. How do these compare both Fischer or Bruggen? I like Fischer on Haydn earlier symphonies but like Bruggen's later symphonies...Vibrant performances with detailed sound to match. As a bonus, if one understands German, which I don't, there is a second disc on which the conductor discusses the music.
I've only heard the Fischer...the sound on this Ars label is superior--less resonant and more detailed, plus Weil indulges in fewer quirky tempo changes. I just ordered the other volume--I hope they get to the "sturm und drang" middle period symphonies soon, assuming they are recording all of the symphonies.
Thanks! I might have to give those a listen! Have you heard Bruggen London symphonies? I think they're remarkable. Kuijken Paris Symphonies also good IMHO.
Have you heard weil's Durm und strang with Tafelmusic? I have not. Also, presume you've seen that Weil and ARS releases The Creation by Haydn? I have the Harnoncourt...like it but prefer others of Haydn's works...though I admit I have said that before....only to hear another interpretation that opens my eyes and ears to a piece properly. That's what's fun about this.
Judging by the German-only text, which only appears to explain the wonders of SACD audio, this was not released in the US, nor the others in the series. Regardless, the remastering has produced superb results, even if the original mastertape was mostly likely stereo. The performances are masterful, too. Be aware: This disc contains only a m-ch SACD layer and a stereo RBCD layer--no stereo SACD, so you stereo SACD fans won't reap any benefit!
Thanks for posting here! Hope u like them...would appreciate your opinion if you hear them.

Very interesting John; and an hybrid SACD but without a stereo SACD layer (music stereo tracks).

Yo-Yo MA BOX set.
Starting with Disc 1.

Yes, it's unique in my experience. There are several others in the series (Eloquence)--mostly recordings from the mid-1970s, so clearly some hocus-pocus was involved to make them multi-channel, but this one certainly sounds fine. The Wagner overture one looks inviting, but I read two terrible reviews regarding its sound quality.

Hmmm...not sure. Are there quadraphonic phono cartridges?
