Leslie Jones and the Little Orchestra of London perform the fifth of the "London Symphonies," No. 97 in C major, 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.




An extensive review of this recording by Gramophone Magazine from March, 1969, is available here:

@sirshitsalot007 yep, he sure was. I do hear some of what Beethoven liked doing after 5:14, this interplay where tension is built up. A great person and a great composer.

man, haydn was such a boss

we had to learn about this song in music class

[Olegstuff21986]

hehe, that could be :). If you listen to one of the string quartets, I think #64 in F Sharp Minor from Joseph Haydn, you'll be able to see the similarity to Beethoven's 5th symphony. Beethoven himself denied Haydn's influence on him, but when I hear Beethoven's great symphonies I often think of him as an excellent student of Haydn :). They are both amazing though, they will live forever.

In fact, I have suspected Haydn to be the father of the "knocking" figure that opens Beethoven's fifth symphony...

[Olegstuff21986]

an amazing first movement, why only 2008 views? I can hear a lot of the power that Beethoven will be using later on. I'm sure the London symphonies and many other of his symphonies will still be played in the next 200 years at least.
