Symphonies Nos. 101 "The Clock" / 102 / 103 "Drumroll" / 104 "London"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Symphonies Nos. 101–104 is a set of four symphonies by the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed and first performed during his London visits between 1793 and 1795. They exemplify late-classical orchestral writing, featuring expanded orchestral colours, inventive rhythmic devices and formal refinement that mark Haydn's mature style and his engagement with English concert audiences.
