Paris Symphonies Nos. 82-87 in Full Score brings together six of Haydn’s celebrated orchestral works in one authoritative volume.
Commissioned in 1786 by the Paris-based orchestra Le Concert de la Loge Olympique, these symphonies were written for an extraordinarily large ensemble of professional and amateur players, with reinforced woodwind parts and a large string section. The set includes Symphony No. 82 in C major, L'Ours (The Bear), 1786; Symphony No. 83 in G minor, La Poule (The Hen), 1785; Symphony No. 84 in E flat major, In Nomine Domini, 1786; Symphony No. 85 in B flat major, La Reine (The Queen), 1785; Symphony No. 86 in D major, 1786; and Symphony No. 87 in A major, 1785.
Composer Giuseppe Maria Cambini, a member of the orchestra, noted that the enthusiastically received premieres featured some of the city's finest musicians. A contemporary critic added, "Each hearing increases our appreciation and admiration of the works of the great genius, who, in all his pieces, understands so well how to draw the richest and most varied developments from every theme."
Reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel editions, this volume offers musicians and music lovers an inexpensive and authoritative compilation of Haydn's ever-popular works.
