专辑简介
This cheerful and inventive symphony is one of six (Nos. 99–104) which Haydn composed for his second visit to London in 1794–5 on the invitation of the London impresario Johann Peter Salomon. Having heard in 1791 that Haydn\’s employer Prince Nikolaus had died, Salomon immediately travelled to Vienna in order to secure Haydn\’s services, hoping that this time he would be free to accept, and indeed a long trip of a year and a half, for which Haydn composed Nos. 93–98, went ahead in 1791–2 and was hugely successful, so he must have been looking forward to this second trip of a similar duration. For it might seem improbable that the symphonies he would compose for this second trip could exceed in quality and originality those of the first, but exactly this proved to be the case: the enthusiastic welcome he had received, and the high standard of the orchestral playing that he experienced, now inspired him to write the finest and most inventive orchestral music of his life.
