Description
The Heidelberg Haydn is a paragon of dynamism, freshness, wildness, hum or and a wealth of surprises. I am delighted that the journey continues and the cycle is complete. My musical encounters with the Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra have always been journeys to happiness. Idealism, love of music and technical perfection are combined here with the will to create something very special, and it all fits perfectly into the symphonic world of Joseph Haydn. I look to the future with great anticipation!" writes conductor Johannes Klumpp. He has taken over the great task of recording all 107 symphonies by Joseph Haydn from his predecessor Thom as Frey with great respect. The Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra released the first CD in this series back in 1999. The complete recording of the symphonies allows an examination of Haydn's development over decades, presents his originality and, above all, many compositions of his early works that have almost never been performed," says Johannes Klumpp. He previously attracted attention with his interpretations and recordings of the works of W. A. Mozart and is considered a proven expert in historical performance practice. In the Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra, he has found the ideal partners for this. "My musical encounters with the Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra have always been journeys to happiness. Idealism, a love of music and technical perfection are combined here with a desire to create something very special. Just right for the symphonic world of Joseph Haydn.
