Symphony no. 94 / Symphony no. 100

Album by Joseph Haydn & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Symphonies No. 94 and No. 100 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1791 and 1794 respectively. Both belong to Haydn's London symphonies and exemplify his mature Classical idiom, combining clear melodic writing, inventive orchestration and formal rigour with striking contrasts of dynamics and rhythmic vitality that influenced later orchestral composition.
First released: 1984
