With classical recordings I’m never quite sure how to categorize things. Should it be by composer? Orchestra or star musician? The conductor? This record is a performance of Josef Haydn’s “Symphony No. 103” and “Symphony No. 1” by der Münchner Symphoniker, or the Munich Symphony Orchestra to you, Yankee. It’s good. I felt relaxed.

Yesterday I saw an ad on TV for the “Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World…Ever!” For real? How can they be sure? Maybe this Haydn record is the most chill classical album… ever. Did they think about that? I report. You decide.

    ‘Classical music’ is a misnomer. Being a musician I find the generalization annoying. If we say ‘classical architecture’ it is obvious we mean buildings from ancient Greece. ‘Western art music’ is a more apropos (greek again:) phrasing. If in the future people were to call ‘rock’ music ‘classical’ they would be no more wrong than we are today:).
