Haydn

Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine | Joseph Swensen, conductor Joseph Haydn Symphony in E-flat major Hob. I:99 Symphony in D major “The Clock” Hob. I:101 Symphony in E-flat major “Drumroll” Hob.

I:103 Joseph Swensen is convinced: it’s always good to return to Haydn’s symphonies.

The meticulous work, the quality of listening, the chamber-like character: all the ingredients are present to cultivate the excellence of the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine, praised by critics since the arrival of its musical director.

In this series of late symphonies (known as “London” symphonies because they were premiered in London), there is ample material to bring the interpretation to life.

In the pendulum of a clock, in astonishing timpani interplay, or in the invigorating momentum of a “con spirito” finale, the musicians will have the opportunity to experience, once again, the beautiful complicity they share with their musical director.
