The London Symphonies

Album by Joseph Haydn & Orchestra della Svizzera italiana & Howard Shelley

The London Symphonies is a set of twelve symphonies by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed and premiered in London between 1791 and 1795. They exemplify Haydn's mature Classical style, featuring expanded orchestration, inventive thematic development and a balance of formal clarity and humorous gesture, and they played a significant role in shaping the late 18th-century symphonic tradition.
