Mr. Parloff, what an amazing story-teller you are, and what an amazing story you've told us. You have inspired me to search out Papa's music from the eloquent examples you shared. I dig your humour, you rascal!💐
My favorite composer had always been Bach and my classical music friend’s favorite had been Haydn. Your lectures on both expanded our lists of favorites. Thank you
Mr. Parloff, my sincere thanks for your excellent presentations. I've been a music teacher for 28 years now and always recommend your lectures to my students (the Shostakovich lecture is particularly popular with them). One question if I may, which recording of The Creation is in your presentation? TH-cam identifies it as the Bruggen recording but they don't always get it correct. Thank you again.
Thank you, Mr. Rogers, for your kind note. I reused some of the audio clips from the Creation from previous lecture I've given about Haydn, and so I don't recall exactly which recordings I used. That said, I believe that Colin Davis conducted the excerpt from "Chaos" at the beginning of the oratorio. The "Let There Be Light" excerpt (in English) was also a British conductor and ensemble, possibly Roger Norrington). The video clip of the fugal passage from Part Three was from a wonderful performance conducted by Adam Fisher, which he recorded in the Eisenstadt Esterhazy Palace. It is available on TH-cam.
Trivia question with which I stump my students: “What great American statesman was born the same year as Haydn?” To which the reply is invariably,” Ummmm, when was Haydn born?” (1732) the answer is George Washington.
Gottfried Freiherr van Swieten introduced Mozart and Hayden to J.S.Bach and Handel. He hosted weekly private sunday concerts, most of which Mozart attended. Hayden is mostly to thank for the preservation of Bach's work. Hayden also distributed Allegri's Miserere that the Vatican kept secret to be their exclusive music, that Mozart had transcribed from memory.
Invaluable lectures and commentary thank you 🎉

Thank you, Mr. Chabanowich. You made my day!
My favorite composer had always been Bach and my classical music friend’s favorite had been Haydn. Your lectures on both expanded our lists of favorites. Thank you
I never enjoyed a video as this one. I love Hayden’s music and Michael Parloff is great. Thanks for this beautiful work
This must be one of the best talks that I have ever heard about a composer!
Most enlightening and entertaining. What a rare gift.
A delightful and highly informative lecture.
This is completely delightful. Haydn is my desert island music, and I listen to it constantly.
The piano trio sounds like Schubert! Amazing!
Excellent postscript
24:15 Nice one! :D
Michael. If you have any history on Michael Haydn, I would love to hear it. Thank you
