Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In the late 1780s Haydn wrote from the Esterházy royal palace to Marianne von Genzinger, "Here I sit in my wilderness--forsaken--almost without any human society." Unsurprisingly, when Prince Nicolaus died, the unhappy Haydn quickly accepted an invitation to London, informing Genzinger, "My arrival [on New Year's Day 1791] caused a great sensation. I went the rounds of all the newspapers for three successive days." For the next five years Haydn was fêted in the English capital and, but for the death of Prince Anton Esterházy resulting in his reinstatement as Kapellmiester, he might have settled permanently. He wrote his final symphonies, Nos 93-104, during these years, works which stand beside Mozart's as the pinnacles of the classical symphony. Following six volumes of the highly acclaimed Haydn Mass Edition, Richard Hickox and the period-instrument Collegium Musicum 90 embark on a Haydn London Symphonies cycle. Utterly in accord with the composer, Hickox and his players deliver first-rate performances in a refined recording made in London's Blackheath Hall. By linking Symphony No. 95 with Nos 103 ("Drum Roll") and 104 ("London"), Volume 1 also offers great value--78 minutes of glorious music. --Gary S. Dalkin
