It is interesting how the choose to record a symphony from 1791 with harpsichord continuo... Wasn't the harpsichord as a continuo-instrument already out of fashion then?

The sudden fortissimo at the the beginning is handled in just the right proportion - a pleasant surprise, yet not a shock. Many thanks for posting, David. Jones' is altogether a winning rendition of the symphony. The video presentation is as fabulous as those for all other postings of the cycle.
