J. Haydn - Hob I:76 - Symphony No. 76 in E flat major (Hogwood)

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Haydn wrote the three Symphonies 76, 77, and 78 as a trilogy in 1782 - rather like Mozart’s last three in 1788. They are in fact three additional ‘London’ symphonies, and were intended for a trip to that city that never came off. Haydn in 1783 wrote to his Parisian publisher Boyer: ‘Last year I composed three beautiful, magnificent, and by no means over-long symphonies...they are all very easy, without too much concertante for the English gentlemen, and I intended to bring them over myself and produce them there’. All three truly are magnificent; try listening to them as a threesome.

This symphony #76 is especially well-crafted, sensuous in tone and quite dramatic in places. It's quite a bit more profound than the attractive, but rather slight Symphony #74 (also in E-flat major) written in 1781.

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

1782 - Questa sinfonia con le due seguenti n.77 e n. 78 forma un trio di sinfonie composte per un primo viaggi a Londra mai realizzato. Haydn le cedette successivamente ad un editore di Parigi sottolineandone il carattere brillante e sintetico ed esprimendo la convinzione che esse avrebbero corrisposto alle aspettative del pubblico. Ciò non esclude che, in mezzo ad un gioco trasparente di suoni gioiosi, si insinuino tocchi melanconici e persino un'eco ritardata dello Sturm und Drang. Haydn perviene in queste sinfonie ad un'armoniosa fusione tra elementi decorativi ed elementi passionali, fra idillio e dramma e precorre il mondo incantato degli ultimi capolavori. LDC

Noi onoriamo i compositori, ma non riflettiamo sul pubblico per cui scrivevano e venivano apprezzati Erano dei raffinatissimi signori, con dei valori.

I thought I'd heard just about all of the 104 Haydn symphonies, but I don't recall having made the acquaintance of this one until now, and I'm glad I did. It's quite a lovely work, and is well played here by Hogwood and the AAM. Thanks for such a rewarding upload, ComposersbyNumbers! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._76_(Haydn)

Christopher Hogwood really does Haydn very well indeed.

Ziemlich langweilig und harmlos gespielt aus heutiger Sicht. Bisschen langsam (1. Satz)...
