John Marsh - Symphony No.6 in D-major (1796)

[@artfuldodger4850]

What a wealth of composing talent the United Kingdom had in the 18th century, Thos. Lindley Jnr, John Marsh, John Garth, Hook, Boyce, Arne, Wesley, most sadly overlooked these days by Classical music stations.Since I heard Marsh’s symphony 2 years ago, he is one of my favourites.

For those who think this is in D Minor, please recall some of Haydn's D Major Symphonies are having D Minor as the Intro, and this composer does the same in this Symphony. Great piece anyway! :)

Hitting all the rare symphonic gems today. Love it.

Music in the high Classical style. Puts me in mind of J.C.Bach (the 'English Bach'), Mozart's favourite composer. Lovely Cleansing music of wonderful form and beauty. This performance is superb! Thank you for this real little gem.

great piece. Thanks for posting!

This is a lot better than I expected and it compares very favourably to composers like JC Bach.

Caught this midway on a local radio station. Thought for sure it was Haydn but found out it was not at the end. Very similar to Haydn compositions.

[@ascenbach1]

Haydn‘s 105th lol

[@henryj.finnjr.5447]

nice!

[@EminAnimE1]

Sounds pretty much like Haydn!

[@richardbetton-foster3899]

Why isn't John Marsh better known. Just a good as Haydn

[@pietstamitz1]

indeed, influenced by Haydn, but not as good as him, no shame, Haydn was one of the greatest geniuses ever, and Marsh is really very good, and, like Haydn, very creative.

[@helmutgehrmann464]

Einfluss von Haydn!

[@olavtryggvason1194]

Japp, gleichzittig erklangen in England die Londoner Symphonnien. Die waren ganz neu geschrieben. MAcht fast den Eindruck als ob Marsh eine davon gehört und sich entschieden hätte: Sowas schreibe ich jetzt auch.

D minor...

[@jinrosoju123]

This is D minor. Not major!!!.

[@juliogarcia2956]

Wieso haben Sie das bemerkt ???

[@juliogarcia2956]

Bei den Instrumented, oder???

[@jinrosoju123]

@@juliogarcia2956 Sorry. I can't your language. please use me english.

[@MyHugeUtsch]

The intro is indeed in D minor, but the majority of the first movement (especially the main theme) are in D major.

Really isn’t worth getting so animated. Haven’t found any substantial piece which is in the signature key from start to finish. Just enjoy music from a good underrated composer.😁
