Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 93 - 104 (the London Symphonies)

Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, Howard Shelley

In 2009, the music world around the globe will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the death of Joseph Haydn. On Hyperion, Howard Shelley and his stylish continental orchestra present the symphonies that made Haydn the most famous and popular composer alive in the 1790s. These are Haydn’s most glittering, worldly symphonies, and listening to them as a set one can sense the exhiliarating milieu in which they were written. This boxed set, featuring high class performances, recordings and booklet notes at a budget price, is the perfect way to experience the joy and splendour of these works.

“The Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana is finely honed and the rapport is evident, with unfailingly fine and musicianly playing.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2009

Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 93 - 104 (the London Symphonies)

Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR, Roger Norrington

Norrington’s excursions into the Classical and Romantic and Symphonic repertoire have been well documented and now he and his Stuttgart colleagues turn their attention to Haydn. Haydn’s last twelve symphonies rank among the greatest achievements of western music and continue to inspire.

“…ensemble work is generally fine and there are some notably lithe woodwind solos throughout. …Norrington is alert to Haydn's effortless wit, his airborne counterpoint and his unerring architecture.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2010

Haydn Edition Volume 4 - The London Symphonies

Haydn:

Symphonies Nos. 93 - 104 (the London Symphonies)

Symphony No. 68 in B flat major

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Nikolaus Harnoncourt

The set comprises Haydn’s groundbreaking Symphony No 68, and the complete set of his picturesque London Symphonies, including much-loved works that are central to the repertoire such as No 94 (‘Surprise’), No 101 (‘The Clock’), No 103 (‘Drumroll’) and No 104 (‘London’). The recordings were originally made in 1987 and 1988 for Teldec.

“[on The London Symphonies] Harnoncourt is better able to convince us than all his other rivals (Beecham, Dorati, Colin Davis, Karajan, Solti, Brüggen, Adam Fischer, Tate, Hogwood) of the imperative necessity of his "impertinences", of his dynamic and rhythmic contrasts and of his deep polyphonic edge.” Le Monde de la Musique
