Symphony No. 94 'Surprise' / Sinfonia Concertante

Album by Joseph Haydn & Wiener Philharmoniker & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 94 'Surprise' / Sinfonia Concertante is a pairing of orchestral works by Joseph Haydn composed in the early 1790s (1791–1792). Both pieces exemplify Classical-era orchestral writing, with clear sonata-related structures, direct melodic phrasing and keen use of dynamic contrast and wind–string interplay that reflect Haydn's mature style during his London period and influenced late 18th-century symphonic and concertante practice.
First released: 1986
