Haydn: Symphonies 88-92 - Simon Rattle, BPO

Simon Rattle makes a strong case for Haydn, the composer he would most like to have dinner with, He wrote about 115 symphonies and at least 80 of them are masterpieces. The second movement of No.88 contains one of his most profoundly moving melodies, with the feeling that some strange, enormous explosion is going on in the distance. The first movement has a very simple theme that could just be played by two horns. It starts very innocently, and then he builds the most extraordinary complications around it - suddenly, youre in the middle of rage. Haydn always wants to surprise his audience.

Great channel - I am happy to have found you and happy to subscribe :-)

Sir Rattle a great conductor on a great composer - phantastic

[STELLAVOLPE]

Demons1965 is right. Boehm's interpretation of 88, 89, 90, 91, 92 and concertante is a supreme result in history of interpretation. His interpretations are among the very few I cannot imagine anything better.

@sewardsteve especially of Simon Rattle!

[Demons1965]

Just compare Sir Simon's treatement of the Oxford's slow intro with the Bohm  / VPO performance. It is not to the former's advantage . . . . .
