During the 1970s, after the release of his complete Haydn symphony cycle, Hungarian-American conductor Antal Doráti recorded eight of Haydn's operas for Philips Records, with the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne. The selected works were
- Armida
- La fedeltà premiata
- L'incontro improvviso
- L'infedeltà delusa
- L'isola disabitata
- Il mondo della luna
- Orlando paladino
- La vera costanza
These operas were initially released on LP format, then subsequently on CD in 1993.
Many of Doráti's Haydn operas are still reference recordings, and have had successful reviews from Gramophone and The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music.
