Symphony No. 44 "Trauer" / Symphony No. 49 "La Passione"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Smith Square Orchestra of St. John's & John Lubbock

Symphonies No. 44 "Trauer" and No. 49 "La Passione" are orchestral works by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1772 and 1768 respectively. Both arise from Haydn's Sturm und Drang period, characterised by minor keys, dramatic dynamic contrasts, agitated rhythms and expressive wind writing that reflect his experimental approach to symphonic form and emotional expression in his middle-period output.
First released: 1986
