Leslie Jones and the Little Orchestra of London perform the twelfth of the "London Symphonies," No. 104 in D major (the "London Symphony") by Franz Joseph Haydn. I created this video from the LP depicted above, the first of a set of six issued on the Nonesuch label, serial number HF-73019. Recorded in 1968 at the I. B. C. Sound Recording Studios, London.

Jones really understood the spirit of Haydn, which is so unlike the spirits of Mozart and Beethoven; this performance is musically wonderful and marvelously played, and I love Jones's repeat of the exposition.

Thank you so much, David, for another winner from Jones. He brings out the buocolic vitality and the delightful orchestral details of this movement more than all other conductors I have heard in this work.
