Symphony No. 3 is available on a CD with No.s 1, 2, 4, 5, performed by the
Sinfonia Finlandia conducted byPatrick Gallois onNaxos Records . But besides that recording, the low-numbered symphonies without nicknames are generally available only as part of a boxed set of all the symphonies or a large number of symphonies, such asAdrian Shepherd 's set with Cantilena of No.s 1 - 12 onChandos Records or theNimbus Records set of No.s 1 - 20 by theAustro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra with various conductors.Christopher Hogwood with theAcademy of Ancient Music prefers to go by chronology of composition rather than numbering, therefore No. 3 is in a set with other symphonies from 1760 - 1763, such as No.s 14, 20, 33, 36.References
