Symphonies Vol. 7: No. 6 "Le Matin" / No. 7 "Le Midi" / No. 8 "Le Soir"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Northern Chamber Orchestra & Nicholas Ward

Symphonies Vol. 7 is a collection of three early orchestral symphonies by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed around 1761. The works exemplify early Classical orchestration and sonata-form writing, featuring light orchestral colour, clear melodic exchanges and contrasts of mood, and they illustrate Haydn's development of symphonic structure and humour during his formative years.
First released: February 1994
