Here is the story: About ten months ago I took part in a recording for the German radio station WDR (and a concert) of Haydn's secular cantatas for the namedays of Prince Esterhazy. Some of these were not previously published, and Henle had done them as part of the complete edition. My orchestra, Cappella Coloniensis (part of WDR, at least for the time being) was invited by Henle (or their musicologists) to be the first to perform and record them. At the time we were doing the recording the complete edition volume had not been published, and the material, as far as I can tell, was still in the making. We played from parts that had not been completely finished, and still showed a lot of errors. They also hadn't been tweaked from an engravers point of view, although the layout was already in Henle standard with their copyrights on it. It showed a few very obvious details that often happen in Finale, and I am pretty sure they were done in Finale (although I have nothing to prove it and cannot check in detail since I don't have the parts any more). Whether those parts are or will ever be available I have no idea. The score certainly will be. I did not check, however, whether the score was done in Finale, I haven't seen it. Fact is that Henle in their other scores do some things that cannot possibly be done in Finale, so it would be relatively easy to check on those. When I get a chance to have a look at the score I will. The recording of these cantatas was planned for CD release, but unfortunately someone made a serious mistake in the planning and didn't realize that the total time for the cantatas we recorded was about 42 min - simply not enough for a CD. I don't know what the latest decision is, but perhaps it will be released with some earlier recording on the same CD. The conductor was Andreas Spering.
