Haydn, in my opinion, was the best classical composer that ever lived (no offence, Mozart). Besides inventiong the modern string quartet and single-handedly changing the world of symphonies, he had amazing works. His 94th symphony 'The Surprise' is a must, the 2nd movement in it is absolutely wonderful. His string quartet Op 33 No. 3 'The Joke' is one of the best string quartets. His piano sonata No. 50 in C Major is also highly recommended, and so are all of his concertos, the best of which are the Trumpet concerto in E-flat Major and his Piano Concerto No. 11 in D major (Both are the top of the concerti repertuar if you ask me).

When you look up a haydn recording, try to find the brightest one, for that is how haydn should be played.

This is apurelysubjective matter. One could say just about anything. It is safe to say that his music is: organized but notobsessivelyso, light,balancedand generally Apollonean.
