Symphonies nos. 45 “Farewell”, 46, 47 “Palindrome”

Album by Joseph Haydn & English Chamber Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim

Symphonies nos. 45, 46 and 47 are three orchestral works by Joseph Haydn composed in 1772–1773. They exemplify Haydn's middle-period classical style with strong dynamic contrasts, chamber-like textures and inventive wind writing, featuring programme-driven elements in the Farewell symphony and symmetrical formal ideas in No.47, and they occupy an important place in his development of the symphony as a genre.
