Symphony No. 44 in E minor ("Funeral") / Symphony No. 46 in B major / Symphony No. 59 in A major ("Fire Symphony")
Album by Joseph Haydn
This compilation album collects three orchestral symphonies by Joseph Haydn, composed in the late 1760s–early 1770s. The works exemplify Haydn's mature symphonic style, contrasting darker minor-key drama with brighter major-key energy and showing inventive use of orchestral colour and formal development that helped define the Classical symphony and mark a pivotal stage in his middle-period output.
First released: 1996
