Symphonies no. 44 "Trauer" / no. 88 / no. 104 "London"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Capella Istropolitana & Barry Wordsworth

This compilation collects Joseph Haydn's Symphonies Nos. 44, 88 and 104, composed in 1772, 1787 and 1795 respectively. Musically they span Haydn's middle to late period, showcasing the minor-key intensity associated with his Sturm und Drang phase, the clarity and balance of classical forms, and an expanded orchestral palette and formal breadth that culminated in his late symphonies written for performances in London and helped shape the mature classical symphony.
