A Music Stand in Blue dramatic light, atmospheric
Dear old Papa Haydn, as he was known in eighteenth-century Vienna, was a fatherly figure to the finest musicians of his day. He is also the father of the symphonic form. This week we will sample some of his 104 symphonies, following their development from modest orchestral pieces to expressions of wit, humor, and drama. We will listen to the Orchestra of St. Luke’s conducted by Charles Mackerras, the Pittsburgh Symphony under the direction of André Previn, and Leonard Bernstein with the Vienna Philharmonic, among other ensembles performing Haydn’s
symphonies.
