Really annoying how Joseph Haydn redirects to Franz Joseph Haydn, a name he never used and which the majority of scholars find to be ahistorical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haydn%27s_name

I'm using Deezer instead of Spotify and my classical music scrobbles are messed all the time, because they are scrobbled by performer name instead of composer. Sometimes they are many performer names in one album. Without constant editing it would be mess like hell. But it's lossless and regarding classical music it's far better than Tidal.

Doesn't deserve the "father of the symphony" title, should've at least incorporated trap beats in his work

They might as well do this to all the classical composers: Cedric Ludwig van Beethoven, Donald Robert Schumann, Franz 'Philly Joe' Schubert, etc. Just give them random names that are not actually their name.

Karajan's version of The Creation with the Wiener Singverein and the Berliner Philharmoniker is absolute bliss.

It's unfortunate that we lost the war to Last.fm's insistence on referring to him as "Franz," but in the interest of trying to stimulate some discussion about his music, I'll say that I've really been enjoying the Op. 76 String Quartets (particularly No. 1 and No. 4 ("Sunrise")), Te Deum and The Seven Last Words of Christ recently. The Takács Quartet is, as always, a great bet for the former, and I'm loving the Fitzwilliam String Quartet's version of the latter. Yet another great thing about Haydn is that he lived a long and happy life so we have a huge amount of wonderful music to enjoy from him as opposed to if he'd died young like so many other greats.

He's not getting a lot of respect from last.fm in general: depicted as "Franz" Joseph Haydn and tagged wrong. Poor guy.

Pay a heed to his oratorio Il Ritorno di Tobia, expecially such choral parts as "Odi le nostre voci", "Ah Gran Dio", the aria "Quel felice nocchier" and the quartet "Io non oso alzar"

I'll repeat what others have written: "Franz" was not used during Haydn's lifetime and is avoided by scholars today.

@Ohr16. First, a great majority of classical recordings, for their title, only list the composer's last name so it would mostly just be "Haydn". Second, it's "Franz Joseph Haydn" not "Franz Josef Haydn"....not even Last.fm spells it this way. Perhaps you should check your own spelling before criticizing others. Third, I have DG recordings where it is spelled as "Franz Joseph Haydn" while others just say "Joseph Haydn". Which spelling you think is correct is a matter of preference, neither of them is wrong per se. If you don't like it, disable auto correct and scrobble it as "Joseph Haydn".....and please NOT "Jozef Haydn", like you seem to suggest,...that for sure IS wrong.

the recordings of his music on Harmonia Mundi are absolutely amazing. HM is quickly becoming my favorite label for classical music.
