Hi everyone,
I'm buying a complete Haydn Symphonies set and can't make the decision between the two:

and

Any comment would be appreciated!!!

I don't think he's done all of them, but Colin Davis' London Symphonies are awesome, they got rave reviews from Gramophone.
Dorati's Haydn are apparently classis recordings (but I think that's more for the fact that he was the first to do the complete set)

Firstly, my compliments on your taste: these works are masterpieces and should be better known. Given the relatively modest price differential, I'd go with the Fischer as being a bit fresher in style.

Thanks both! I guess I'll take the Fischer and buy a few Collin Davis' piecemeals =)
