Symphony No. 74 in E-flat major / Symphony No. 75 in D major / Symphony No. 76 in E-flat major

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kölner Kammerorchester & Helmut Müller‐Brühl

Symphonies Nos. 74 in E-flat major, 75 in D major and 76 in E-flat major are orchestral works by Joseph Haydn, composed around 1780. They exemplify Haydn's Classical-period symphonic writing, characterised by clear sonata structures, contrasts between lyrical slow movements and lively finales, increased use of wind colours and rhythmic wit, and they occupy a middle-period place in his output as he developed the symphonic genre toward his later works.
First released: 1997
