Joseph Haydn: Symphonien Nr.48-50 on CD

Haydn nutzte in den ersten Jahren am Hof des Fürsten Nikolaus Esterházy (in dessen Dienst er 1761 eintrat) seine Freiheit zum Experimentieren und Weiterentwickeln seiner sinfonischen Technik. Doch erst in den Werken der späten 60er und frühen 70er Jahre des 18. Jahrhunderts—in den Quartetten Op. 20 und rund einem Dutzend Sinfonien—kam seine Originaltät wahrhaft zum Vorschein.

Product-Information:

Haydn spent his first few years at the court of Prince Nikolaus Esterházy (where he was appointed in 1761) taking advantage of his freedom to experiment and develop his symphonic technique. But it was in the works of the late 1760s and early 1770s—the Opus 20 Quartets and some dozen symphonies—that his originality became truly manifest.
