Symphony no. 94 in G “Surprise” / Symphony no. 99 in E-flat / Symphony no. 104 in D “London”

Album by Joseph Haydn & Berlin Symphony Orchestra & Eugen Jochum

Symphonies Nos 94, 99 and 104 are orchestral works by Joseph Haydn composed in the 1790s. They exemplify Haydn's mature Classical style, featuring clear sonata forms, prominent melodic ideas, frequent dynamic contrasts and expanded orchestral colour, and belong to his late symphonic output written for London concert audiences that reflect his exploration of formal innovation and public-facing gestures.
First released: 1994
