Symphonies Nos, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, : Norrington / Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra (4CD)

Joseph Haydn: The 12 London Symphonies

Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra
Sir Roger Norrington, conductor

Live Recordings: 09/2009

Following his well-documented excursions into the Classical and Romantic symphonic repertoire, Roger Norrington has finally arrived at the music of Joseph Haydn. His Beethoven cycle with the SWR Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart was a global success. As recently as 2008, his recordings of the "Essential" Mozart Symphonies similarly attracted the praise of the international musical community. And now, Norrginton and his Stuttgart colleagues are proud to present the "London Symphonies." Haydn's last twelve symphonies rank among the greatest achievements of western music and continue to inspire composers well into the 20th century.
Norrington has established himself as one of the most creative and innovative exponents of historical performance practice - often controversial but NEVER boring, Norrington ranks among the most significant conductors of his generation. A sure winner! ( Haenssler Classic )
