Haydn: From Esterháza to Hanover Square
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Journey through Haydn’s varied oeuvre with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under the baton of Sir András Schiff.
Sir András Schiff, leading the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, explores the thrilling contrasts of Haydn’s musical personality: from the electrifying Sturm und Drang era via an encounter with Hungarian folk music to the refinement of his London residencies.
The tempestuous minor-key sensibility of Haydn’s Symphony No.39 (1765) buzzes with the energy of the Sturm und Drang (storm and stress) movement that was sweeping literature and art at the time.
In the Keyboard Concerto No.11, from nearly 20 years later, we hear the influence of Mozart on Haydn in the enterprise of the writing for the solo instrument and the famous ‘Rondo all’Ungarese’ finale.
Symphony No.102, composed for Haydn’s celebrated London series in 1794, crowns his symphonic output. It provides the perfect encapsulation of all the qualities that made his creative achievement so monumental: dynamic and driving, flowing with gorgeous melodies, foot-stomping dances and Haydn’s trademark jokiness.
