Catalogue Note
"The first set of canzonettas...remain, [among Haydn's] most popular small vocal-pieces; Jenny Lind's interpretation of 'My mother bids me bind my hair', was a classic of its time, as are Peter Pears's and Benjamin Britten's..." (H.C.R. Landon, Haydn in England (Chronicle & Works), 1976, p.258).
