Symphonies nos. 86 & 87
Album by Joseph Haydn & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner
Symphonies Nos. 86 and 87 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786. They form the final pair of his Paris symphonies and exemplify Classical-period orchestration and form, with balanced phrasing, prominent wind writing and dynamic contrasts that reflect Haydn's adaptation to larger-scale public concerts and a mature stage in his symphonic output.
First released: 1982
