“This recording contains the symphonies nos. 18, 2, 20, 17 and 19.
‘Our shared path begins quite a long way down the hi II. We propose to present the symphonies stil I missing from our complete cycle in chronological order – allowing us to take a close I ook at the compositional development of this symphonic Titan. We invite you to get to know Joseph Haydn through his originaIity, to observe him and take him to your he arts. His early music is scarcely ever played, even well-informed insiders among our colleagues are almost completely ignorant of it. We ourselves regard each of the recorded symphonies as a discovery that brings us real pleasure!’ Johannes Klumpp
The Heidelberger Sinfoniker have named conductor Johannes Klumpp as their Artistic Director for the 2020/2021 season. In so doing, they have chosen him as successor to their founder Thomas Fey, who estabIished the ‘HeideIberg Symphonists’ as one of the Ieading historically informed orchestras for the Classical and early Romantic periods. Johannes Klumpp is regarded as an estabIished expert on period performance practice.”
