Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 6, 7, & 8 - Morning, Afternoon & Night / Florilegium
Recorded in St John's Church West Norwood, London in March 2022, Florilegium release their 31st Channel Classics album: Haydn Symphonies Nos. 6, 7 and 8. This recording involves 18 members of Florilegium, the exact same number Haydn had at his disposal when he composed these symphonies shortly after arriving at Esterhazy in 1761. Haydnâs first symphonies for his new employer, Prince Paul Anton EsterhĂĄzy, form a group of three entitled Morning, Noon and Night. Perhaps these were a result of the Princeâs suggestion that Haydn write something programmatic along the lines of Vivaldiâs Four Seasons.
As symphonies for a small chamber orchestra, all three exploit the solo skills of each of Florilegiumâs principals, from flute to double bass, not to mention heroic horns as well as spectacular violin and cello solos, each vividly characterized in an almost operatic way. Florilegium's previous Haydn London Symphonies recording was hailed as "first rate" by BBC Music Magazine. Florilegium is one of Britain's most outstanding period instrument groups specializing in music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Many of their recordings have garnered international awards over the years.
