FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)

Symphony No. 6 for flute, two oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, violin concertante, cello concertante, strings, and double bass in D major "Le Matin" (The Morning) Hob 1:6

1. Adagio - Allegro

Performed by the Freiburger Barockorchester

*Haydn wrote this, his first symphonic work for his new employer Prince Nikolaus Eszterházy, in the spring of 1761, shortly after joining the court. The Eszterházys maintained in permanent residence an excellent chamber orchestra and with his first contribution for it in the symphonic genre, Haydn fully exploited the talents of the players. In this, Haydn was consciously drawing on the familiar tradition of the concerto grosso, exemplified by the works of Antonio Vivaldi, Giuseppe Tartini, and Tomaso Albinoni then much in vogue at courts across Europe.

Nikolaus Eszterházy had a fondness for programme music of this kind. Amongst the scores owned by the court musical establishment were Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"; and in 1748 the prince's Kapellmeister Gregor Joseph Werner had composed a "Musikalischer Instrumental-Kalender' on all twelve months.

  • With this lovely symphony Haydn began his stay with Prince Eszterhazy. After this, you can imagine if the Prince wanted to give him up!
