Movement 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJutWjeI-cg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Leslie Jones and the Little Orchestra of London perform the second of the "London Symphonies," No. 94 in G major ("Surprise"), by Franz Joseph Haydn. I created this video from the LP depicted above, 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:

  • The sudden fortissimo at the the beginning is handled in just the right proportion - a pleasant surprise, yet not a shock. Many thanks for posting, David. Jones' is altogether a winning rendition of the symphony. The video presentation is as fabulous as those for all other postings of the cycle.

  • @dantitustimshu Thank you Tim.

  • It is interesting how the choose to record a symphony from 1791 with harpsichord continuo... Wasn't the harpsichord as a continuo-instrument already out of fashion then?
