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.
