The 'Paris' Symphonies

Album by Joseph Haydn & Antal Doráti & Philharmonia Hungarica

The 'Paris' Symphonies are a set of six symphonies by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1785–1786. They exemplify Haydn's mature Classical style, featuring expanded orchestration with prominent wind writing, greater dynamic contrasts and theatrical gestures intended for large Parisian concert audiences, and they mark a notable development in the scale and orchestral colour of his symphonic writing.
