Symphony no. 94 "Surprise" / Symphony no. 103 "Drum Roll"
Album by Joseph Haydn & Philharmonia Hungarica & Antal Doráti
Symphonies Nos. 94 and 103 are orchestral works by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1791 and 1795 respectively. Both belong to Haydn's late London symphonies and exemplify Classical-period orchestration and formal clarity, with contrasted dynamics, inventive thematic development and distinctive use of timpani and orchestral colour that reflect Haydn's mature contribution to the development of the symphony.
