A trio of Haydn symphonies that display the remarkably consistent quality and inventiveness of the composer's output. From the clever and concise symphony No. 88 to the humorous 'Clock' to the dazzling and sonorous symphony No. 104, Haydn's swan song to the genre, it's a superb collection that bears eloquent witness to Haydn's consummate mastery. Philharmonia Baroque is recognized as one of the finest chamber orchestras, and one of the most exciting period-instrument ensembles in the country.
Symphony no. 104 in D major : "London" (27:46) -- Symphony no. 88 in G major (19:59) -- Symphony no. 101 in D major : "Clock" (27:29).
