Symphonies no. 85 "La Reine" / no. 92 "Oxford" / no. 103 "Drum Roll"
Album by Joseph Haydn & Capella Istropolitana & Barry Wordsworth
This is a collection of three orchestral symphonies by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed between 1786 and 1795. Musically they exemplify Haydn's mature classical style, with clear sonata structures, inventive thematic development, varied orchestral colours and striking rhythmic gestures, and they form part of his late-period output that bridges the Paris and London symphonies and influenced subsequent classical orchestral practice.
First released: 1990
