Symphony Nos. 82-87 (The Paris Symphonies)

Album by Joseph Haydn & English Chamber Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim

Symphonies Nos. 82–87, commonly known as the Paris Symphonies, are a set of six symphonies by Joseph Haydn composed in 1785–1786 for performance in Paris. They exemplify the Classical symphony through clear formal structures, expanded orchestration with prominent wind writing and pronounced rhythmic character, reflecting a mature phase in Haydn's symphonic output and his engagement with Parisian public concert culture.
