^^ how do you find the Harnoncourt in Haydn, Sean?

I have the London set which I quite like, but I find it hard to warm to his style, to be fair...

I'm not crazy aboiut his latest Paris symphonies set, however, I love the box set above. The RCO London set is okay, Abbado's with the ECO is brilliant.
