Derek Solomons - Haydn Symphonies (Remastered) (2024)

In the 1980s, as historically informed performance was becoming the new standard for early music, there were several attempts by period-instrument ensembles to record all of Haydn’s symphonies. One of these Haydn series that created a stir at the time was directed by the London-based violinist-conductor Derek Solomons. Between 1980 and 1986, he recorded 49 symphonies with his hand-picked ensemble, L’Estro Armonico. Included in this edition of 18 newly mastered discs are several recordings never before issued in any medium.
