SYMPHONIES FOR THE
ESTERHAZY COURT
Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

Apollo Ensemble - John Hsu, Conductor

Symphony No.35 in B-flat Major
Symphony No.23 in G Major
Symphony No.42 in D Major

DOR-90191 Cover - 18692 Bytes Joseph Haydn composed over one hundred symphonies, but performances and studies of this genre generally have been limited to the late works, usually the "Paris" and "London" Symphonies, and a few early ones such as the "Farewell" and the "Passione," and the sequence: "Le matin," "Le midi," and "Le soir."   Although there have been recordings of selected early symphonies, as a whole, Haydn's symphonies composed before 1776 have not gained the familiarity and popularity they deserve.
