Conductor Ensembles ComposerNotes & Reviews:
Even if the titles of "Le Matin", "Le Midi" and "Le Soir" further today's popularity of the three pieces, the Time of Day as a subject merely provided Haydn with an inspiration to compose. Haydn's Symphonies Nos. 6-8 are only program music to a limited extent, but rather they were an ideal platform for the remarkable pleasure in experimentation displayed by the new and imaginative Deputy Kapellmeister of the virtuoso Esterházy court orchestra. The three symphonies are distinguished by a rich variety of form, themes and orchestration, which identify Haydn as an extremely resourceful composer, who cleverly knew how to display his court orchestra in a "favorable light." For Sigiswald Kuijken and La Petite Bande, they are again the appropriate works to show off once more the virtuosity and abilities of what has proved to be one of the best ensembles for historical performance practice.
