Description

This CD features three of Joseph Haydn's symphonies, performed by The Hanover Band under the direction of Roy Goodman. The collection includes Symphony No. 73 in D Major, often known as 'La Chasse' due to its hunting horn calls, along with Symphony No. 74 in E flat Major and Symphony No. 75 in D Major. These works, composed in the classical style, showcase Haydn's mastery of form and his ability to infuse his music with dramatic tension and emotional depth.

Interesting

Joseph Haydn, often referred to as the "Father of the Symphony," composed 104 symphonies over his career. Symphony No. 73, 'La Chasse,' is particularly notable for its use of hunting horn calls, a popular trope in eighteenth-century music that adds a lively and spirited character to the piece.
