Album by Joseph Haydn

The "Paris" Symphonies are a set of six symphonies by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1785–1786. They employ Classical-era orchestral writing with expanded wind and brass sections, energetic rhythmic drive and clear formal architecture, and were written for Parisian concert audiences, reflecting the expansion of orchestral forces and public concert culture in the late 18th century.
