Editorial Note
This issue is the special report on the Haydntage '99. It was a new experience not only for the Haydn orchestra but also for fans to invite guest conductors to Haydntage. In the future, Haydn Orchestra will have subscription concerts in Eisenstadt. There might be more chances to enjoy guest conductors.
