Haydn is the father of the symphony. His music is amazing in harmony, grace and elegance. Viva Haydn a true genius of music that gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure and haunting music. Bravissimo

What a lovely adagio

Gabriel Fromyhr isn’t it? Haydn at his starkest, barest expression. Sounds like grief to me.

@@drdanielott Good Grief!

Joseph Haydn... On croit savoir tout sur lui mais en réalité on ne sait pas tout, ou du moins il nous cache encore quelque chose. A nous de déceler ce mystère en écoutant attentivement et amoureusement sa musique...

[@Alix777.]

Très joli commentaire. Oui Haydn est un mystère...un esprit infiniment inventif et éternel...

(1761-1762 ca) Pur rilevandone le debolezze, Robbins Landon cita questa sinfonia come una "pietra miliare" nell'evoluzione di Haydn. Non si può che negare che si distingua dalle altre opere dello stesso periodo, ma non sempre in senso positivo. E' evidente in ogni caso lo sforzo di uscire dalla convenzione e di accostarsi a un tipo di espressione originale. LDC

Così scrive il Della Croce, che stranamente ce l'ha con questa sinfonia.

Since it is very clear that he is HAYDN and I am nobody... I am going to dare to make a criticism: At minute 4:15 a beautiful progression begins, but it is only heard twice, because at 4:21, instead of continuing and taking us to ecstasy, he cuts it off abruptly, leaving us wanting to keep listening to it. Forgive me, Papa Haydn, but... that should not be done. Maybe a bit like The Sound of Music that part? Does anyone agree with me?
