Music reviews of Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 44, 45 & 49
Music Review: The Haydn Symphonic Workshop
Rating: 5 Stars
It would be hard to overemphasize the historical importance of the group of symphonies Haydn wrote in the early 1770's. Often associated with the stylistic label STURM UND DRANG (storm and stress), these pieces represent a leap out of the morass of rococo, often foreshadowing Beethoven and other later music. They frequently exploit minor keys (as do the three symphonies presented here) and highly expressive melodic content, feature contrapuntal along with homophonic writing, use a richer harmonic palette and broader architectural arches than in earlier Haydn, and frequently experiment with the symphonic formal layout. While I find period instruments indispensable for baroque music, I can take them or leave them when it comes to Haydn and Mozart. As it turns out, Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, using what would seem to be about twelve players, are just perfect for this middle-period Haydn. They turn out clean, transparent textures and anxious, urgent tempos in the outer movements, while appreciating the heart-stopping emotional expression in the adagios. I especially admire the delicately nuanced playing from the violins throughout. Other complete recordings of the STRUM UND DRANG symphonies on period instruments exist, but at budget price this CD is a contender.
