Franz Joseph Haydn's last great symphonies electrified his London audiences, and with these recordings Adam Fischer and the Danish Chamber Orchestra recreate the powerful, stormy and exciting effects that caused such a sensation in the 1790s.
Symphony No. 99 in E flat major was Haydn's first ever symphony to use clarinets; No. 100 in G major gained its 'Military' appellation due to its grand second movement featuring cymbals and triangle; and No. 101 in D major has long been nicknamed The Clock due to the ticking rhythm in the second movement for plucked
strings and bassoons.
