"Following his excellent films on Mozart and Beethoven, the British documentarist Phil Grabsky completes an admirable trilogy with this riveting study of Haydn. As with the earlier films there are no phoney reconstructions and dramatisations, just a lucid chronological account of a life using contemporary prints and new film of the places where he worked; some beautiful music by a variety of performers; informative, unpretentious contributions from musicians, critics and historians ... I learned much about this likable man ... and I intend to hear more of his music".

"Vurdering: BBC music DVD choice" - "Explore the third essential figure of Viennese Classicism: Joseph Haydn ... His life-story is far less familiar ... You can learn a lot about Haydn from biographies, but the advantage of Grabsky's detailed and comprehensive approach is that you can see the places where he lived and worked ... You can also hear samples of his work in all genres ... It's an ideal introduction to one of the greatest composers of his time".
