Haydn himself said that "the entire world understands my music". Even if it is an incredibly complex music ... there is something for everybody in it ...
András Schiff
In February the French-German Arte channel broadcast one my own personal favourites among the musical offerings on television this year:
The Genius of Haydn - With András -Schiff - A Film by János Darvas
The Hungarian-born British pianist András Schiff is the ideal choice both to introduce and play the music of the great Franz Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809).
Regrettably the programme does not seem to be available on DVD or blu-ray, but in case you are interested, you could perhaps try to get in touch with the maker of the film, János Darvas Steinberger here.
Here Schiff performs Haydn´s Sonata No.33 Hob.XVI:20:
