London Symphonies, Volume 1
Album by Joseph Haydn & Florilegium
London Symphonies, Volume 1 is a collection of symphonies by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed and first performed in the 1790s. These works exemplify the Classical-era orchestral style through clear formal structures, inventive thematic development and expanded use of orchestral colour, marking the culmination of Haydn's late symphonic writing during his productive London visits and influencing the development of the public symphony and concert practice.
First released: 2003
