Joseph Haydn / Symphony No. 31 in D major "Hornsignal" (Mackerras)

Trompas de caça. Um dos toques imita o "post horn", (trompa postal).

Sinfonía afilada🌀🧿

The popular opinion that Haydn was always performing his symphonies without a keyboard instrument seems not really convincing to me. In operas he alway played continuo. Why should he not have done it in symphonies? There may have been occasional performances without harpsichord or - in his later works - fortepiano because there was no musician disposible. Certainly, I do not consider that practice as normal standard.

Perfect performance! Highly enthusiastic! Mackeras was one of the first who introduced authentic performance practices in a orchestra playing on modern instruments, for instance using a continuo harpsichord - essential in Haydn Symphonies!

Great , Wonderful Music of all aspects

Papa Haydn war ein großer Komponist. Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Herr Haydn - 31 März 1732 👍🏼

An anecdote. The professor of Botany at my university during my interview for admission asked if I liked Music, because in his department he wanted to have something in common other than plants. I replied that I did, and he asked whether I liked Mozart. I said I preferred Haydn Symphonies. Oh. You had better be admitted. I could not have it on my conscience for you to be on the loose with opinions like that. I recommended that he heard the Horn Signal Symphony,. You deserve admission for that alone. What a joy that is. I owe it to Haydn that I became a Botanist.

nice, i will buy vinyl records

Haydn's main curse has been that of composing some of his best work (late 1780s to 1790s) when Romanticism was on the ascendant, together with the catchy and dramatic image of the composer as a tragic hero. As a great artist, but without much personal drama, his personality couldn't compete with someone like Beethoven with his Promethean public image. Hence his being posthumously relegated to bronze on the podium of the three great classics.

What a wonderful and fabulous music. Thanks for this remarkable and unforgettable recording.

Haydn is the father of the symphony. His music is amazing in harmony, grace and elegance. Viva Haydn a true genius of music that gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure and haunting music. Bravissimo

That background image reminds me of a terrible place in Germany...

Please can anybody tell me,ware the cover picture was taken. I suspect it is a brass instrument maker's shop ?

Cors mêlés aux cordes, j'adore!

Un peu dépassée cette version... Hogwood est le meilleur!

Hi, l am Indian. I also like haydn.

La música de Haydn, no tan popular quizás como Mozart, Beethoven, tiene la magia de levantarnos por el aire, hacernos flotar y ver desde lo alto imágenes hermosas; campos, pueblos, calles, palacios, damas misteriosas; arrobando...

Mack is my authority for Dvorak. I feel that the industry goes overboard for sound clarity. It,s not realistic.

Simplemente una joya!!!

Being Sri Lankan, and not easily accessing European classical, it was in mid-life that I first listened to Haydn seriously and soon began to love his work - not that I have heard much. Somehow, perhaps it is an aesthetic laziness, I seem to prefer the earlier classic composers to the later and, also the lesser known. So I like Salieri, Borchcherini, Corelli, more than Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin. Thank you for uploading this music and thereby enabling me to access an enjoyment I would not otherwise find easily.

Great Croatian

If you notice that this version is longer than other Recordings, it's because they honor all of the Repeats. Also, the last Movement appears to be Haydn's version of "Young People's Guide to the Orchestra!"

Always fresh and nicely structured.
A work from a great genius.

Where are my fellow horn players at?

Getting Wagner Vibes

Magnifica , sinfonía,resuena espléndida

Does anybody know where the picture was taken?

The 1st movement was supposed to be in sonata form and that means NOT repeating the exposition. Not treating it as binary form.

This is a sophisticated symphony probably written to welcome Esterhazy to his new home in Suttor. If so, it was a celebration fit for a prince. Too bad that some of his orchestra was depleted shortly thereafter. Anyway, Haydn was a genius for using all of his instruments to their full potential. It is a marvelous piece of music to listen to.

Diese Musik reisst mich sofort in die Sphären des Himmels und meine Seele fliegt über alles hinweg. Freude Pur...

It's my absolute dream to play this piece with some of my friends in my section! Maybe in youth symphony (I'm fully aware of how tough this piece is)?

Haydn always calms me and makes me happy. So glad he existed and that we still know his music. Thanks.

great work

Movie the pretender

beautifal! i love it!

An excerpt from the first movement is an audition piece for my highschool orchestra class
