"London" Symphonies nos. 102 & 103

Album by Joseph Haydn & Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg & Ivor Bolton

The London Symphonies nos. 102 and 103 are orchestral works by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1794–1795. They exemplify Haydn's late London style within the Classical era, featuring expanded orchestration with prominent wind and brass writing, contrapuntal development and robust symphonic structures often introduced by dramatic slow openings and vivid orchestral colour that reflect his mature approach to form.
