Description:

A Passionate Performance of Haydns Six Symphonies from His Sturm und Drang PeriodThis album, featuring Daniel Barenboims passionate performances of the six symphonies Haydn composed during his Sturm und Drang period, was originally recorded as a three-LP set for Deutsche Grammophon. At that time, Barenboim had been conducting the English Chamber Orchestra for 20 years. Recorded during studio sessions in Edinburgh and London in 1975 and 1978, these recordings showcase a magnificent fusion of the old and new approaches to Haydn, the Father of Music. Five of the symphonies are being released on CD for the first time.Universal Music/IMS
