This volume of the series culminates in Haydn's grandest symphonies, written during his second, triumphant visit to London. The works possess increased artistic weight and mark a transition from Viennese Classicism to Romanticism. In their profuse thematic writing, lyricism, wit and peasant-like evocations - some said to be rooted in Croatian melodies - they offer a kaleidoscopic tour-de-force of his symphonic genius at the zenith of his achievement.
