Symphony no. 99 & no. 104

Album by Joseph Haydn & London Festival Orchestra & Sidney Lark

Symphonies No. 99 and No. 104 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1793 and 1795 respectively. They exemplify Haydn's mature Classical style within the symphonic tradition, featuring clear formal designs, inventive thematic development and a wide range of dynamic and textural contrasts, and they occupy a late-career place among his London symphonies that helped consolidate his role in shaping the genre.
First released: 1990
