Symphonies 97 & 98

Album by Joseph Haydn & Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century & Frans Brüggen

Symphonies 97 and 98 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1792. Part of his set of London symphonies, they are characterised by mature classical orchestral writing with clear sonata-form movement structures, prominent wind writing and buoyant rhythmic energy, reflecting Haydn's late-period engagement with public concert idioms and orchestral colour.
