The Furtwangler comment was because he was a raving anti-semite, hence 'excommunicated', you see?
I try not to touch Haydn with a barge-pole if I can help it. I think that's one of many reasons I couldn't be a proper music student. I'd enjoy, say, the Eroica, but I'll never be too faffed by Mendohlsson [sp?] or somesuch.
On the solo guitar front, have you heard Britten's isolo guitar in memory of John Dowland? I've been trying to play it lately, it's one of those deceptively impossible things.
