Symphonies Nos. 83 & 87

Album by Joseph Haydn & Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra & Hugh Wolff

Symphonies Nos. 83 and 87 are two symphonies by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786. They form part of Haydn's Paris symphonies and exemplify his mature Classical orchestral writing, with clear formal structures, inventive thematic development and expanded orchestration for a larger Parisian ensemble, reflecting a significant stage in his development of the late‑18th‑century symphonic style.
