The “London” Symphonies, Volume 1

Album by Joseph Haydn & Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century & Frans Brüggen

The "London" Symphonies, Volume 1 is a collection of symphonies by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed and premiered during his visits to London between 1791 and 1795. These works exemplify late Classical symphonic style, featuring expanded orchestral forces, prominent thematic development and rhythmic vitality, and they represent the culmination of Haydn's symphonic output and an important precursor to the early Romantic symphony.
