This is full-blooded, 19th century Haydn, with a lot of power and a wide range of dynamics. This ensemble doesn't keep Haydn in a polite 18th-century style, and the round sound of its modern instruments is conveyed in a lively recording made at the great Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. If you want your Haydn wearing a powdered wig, this is not the disc for you. If you want to let the old boy rip, though, these excellent musicians give us the best single-disc introduction to Haydn's Trios available. The famous Gipsy Rondo Trio is here, the last piece on the program —Leslie Gerber
