Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 93-104 -"London Symphonies", Vol. 9 (Philharmonia Hungarica; Antal Dorati, conductor; London/Stereo Treasury; 6 LPs; $20.94). Dorati herewith completes his collection of all the Haydn symphonies, one of the most successful and rewarding projects in the history of recording. Along the way, Dorati has offered many a joy. Among them are the zestful accounts of Symphonies Nos. 36-48 (Vol. 6), notably including the somber "Trauer" (No. 44), the amusing "Farewell" (No. 45) and the radiant "Maria Theresia " (No. 48), a rich collection of middle-period Haydn. He has also offered an "appendix" album, with alternate Haydn...

Many long unavailable, they are now back as part of a novel reissue program. Mercury sent the tapes to The Netherlands, where its sister company Philips provided its usual superior pressings, then shipped them back to be marketed...
ELLIOTT CARTER: STRING QUARTETS NOS. 2 AND 3 (Columbia). Individual instruments may go their own melodic way in Carter's complex auditory scenarios, but the Juilliard Quartet plays with single conviction...
Atlanta Braves Chairman William Bartholomay announced last month that Aaron would be benched during the team's opening series in Cincinnati so that Atlanta fans could have a chance to see the historic blows-Nos. 714 and 715-hit at home. Bartholomay conveniently did not mention that those de serving rooters had numbered barely 16,000 at the 53,000-seat Atlanta Stadium when Aaron hit his 700th home run last summer and that only 2,800 had shown up the night Aaron...
