The period "Sturm und Drang" ("Thunderstorms and passions") is a key moment in the creation of Joseph Haydn Symphony. Between 1766 and 1773 in the service of the royal family Eszterházy, the composer is suitable for all experiments: he begins most of his symphonies with an adagio and finally the details of each musician, uses the most varied instruments with colors that leave the listener breathless and as it tones it is possible. We see listening to these symphonies to the emergence of a true genius. We go from baroque to classical.
The interpretation on period instruments is sound, restoring the freshness of inspiration and the ambivalence of the musical world in gestation, ranging from baroque and classicism.
Outside concertos for violin and orchestra, I appreciate this edition includes recordings of masses and the "Stabat Mater" so far from the emphasis of Harnoncourt and were, for vague economic reasons, become unaffordable.
