In 1795 and 1796 the London-based impresario and orchestral leader, Johann Peter Salomon (1745-1815), bought the rights to the twelve so-called London symphonies, which Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) composed for performances in London. Subsequently, Salomon arranged all twelve symphonies for a chamber combination of flute and string quartet, with optional parts for keyboard and/or double bass. Members of Camerata Tinta Barocca present one of these symphonies in Salomon’s transcription: the well-loved Surprise Symphony. The programme is supplemented by CPE Bach’s Hamburger Sonata for flute and continuo, first published in 1786. During his formative years, Haydn meticulously studied the music of CPE Bach (1714-1788), which had a considerable influence on his later compositional style.
