Haydn: Symphonies (Complete) - CD

ENGLISH

<br><br>One of the major recording projects of the last ten years: the recording of the complete 104 symphonies by Joseph Haydn.<br /> <br /> Performed by the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra conducted by Adam Fischer. This orchestra was especially formed for these recordings by first-desk players from the Wiener Philharmonic and the Hungarian State Orchestra. These players maintain the unique Central European performing practice. It is difficult to describe this practice: it is a natural flow of ritardandi, rhythmical deviations and accents, which make the music come alive and reveal its innate dramatic quality.<br /> <br /> Played on modern instruments. Why? because the players come from the big and the best symphonic orchestras, and are used to their instruments. Moreover, the players perform in a living tradition, and have developed their own musical language.<br /> <br /> Each symphony was recorded in the magnificent Haydnsaal of the Esterhazy Palace in Eisenstadt, where Haydn actually worked as a Kapellmeister, giving this project an unique authentic feeling.
