Haydn Symphonies // Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra

In this double-bill performance, Marios Papadopoulos conducts the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra in two Haydn Symphonies: Nos. 44 and 49.

In the second half of the eighteenth century, German writers and composers were gripped with the Sturm und Drang style, meaning ‘storm and stress’. One such composer was Franz Joseph Haydn, whose Symphonies No. 44 and No. 49 are great examples of the style, characterised by minor keys, excitingly unpredictable changes in tempo and dynamics, angular melodies, pulsing rhythms and syncopation.

This concert was made possible by a grant from the Culture Recovery Fund via Arts Council England, and was filmed by Apple and Biscuit Recordings at the Sheldonian Theatre.
