Symphonies Nos. 102 & 103 "Drum Roll"
Album by Joseph Haydn & Chamber Orchestra of Europe & Claudio Abbado
Symphonies Nos. 102 and 103 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1794 and 1795 as part of his late London symphonies. They exemplify Haydn's late Classical style, featuring full orchestral scoring, clear thematic development and inventive orchestration, with the later symphony famously opening with a timpani roll that reflects his exploration of dramatic effects during the London period.
First released: 1996
