What a glorious work! Even if it is a Sibelius recording, it still sounded beautiful! Michael Hayden has really grown on me. Thank you for posting this.
Ho letto commenti “ entusiasti “. La sinfonia non è il suo campo migliore. Nei confronti del fratello direi che la distanza è notevole. Musica di mestiere. Piacevole ascolto
Actually, you are not heading the wrong way since the fugato finale is quite similar: "Scholars are certain Mozart studied Michael Haydn‘s Symphony No. 28 in C major, which also has a fugato in its finale and whose coda he very closely paraphrases for his own coda. Charles Sherman speculates that Mozart also studied Michael Haydn’s Symphony No. 23 in D major because he “often requested his father Leopold to send him the latest fugue that Haydn had written."
