Symphonies Nos. 102 and 104 "London"

Album by Joseph Haydn & English Chamber Orchestra & Jeffrey Tate

Symphonies Nos. 102 and 104 'London' are orchestral works by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1794 and 1795 respectively. They exemplify Haydn's late Classical style, characterised by expanded orchestral colour, formal clarity, inventive thematic development and contrasts between buoyant and reflective movements, with No. 104 concluding the 'London' set and reflecting the maturity of his symphonic writing during his visits to the city.
First released: 1986
