Free Music Review: Exciting Late Haydn "London" Symphony Recordings from Mackerras and Orchestra of Saint Luke's
Hit: 5 Stars
This 1991 Telarc recording of Haydn's symphonies 100 "Military" in G major and 103 "Drumroll" in E flat major, produced by the ever excellent James Mallinson (who is now best known for his LSO Live Recordings) is noteworthy for these respects. It is among the earliest recordings made by the now venerable New York City-based chamber orchestra Orchestra of Saint Luke's, which has gone on to make quite a few critically-acclaimed, award-winning recordings in a musical repertoire which spans over three centuries, from Handel to the latest works by contemporary composers. It is also a fascinating blend of modern instrument and period instrument practice, performed by superb musicians who are familiar with both, including, of course, eminent British conductor Sir Charles Mackerras himself. Last, but not least, this recording was made at the auditorium of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in Washington Heights, New York, NY; the locale of many distinguished classical music recordings for years simply because of its excellent, ambient sound.
Both Haydn symphonies are performed at relatively brisk tempi, even when the movements are denoted as Adagio and Menuet. Symphony No. 100's opening movement (Adagio; Allegro) features a delightful toyish theme; it is followed in a more somber fashion by a second movement (Allegretto) that conjures the "Military" aspect of the symphony through a delightful "dialogue" between the flute and oboe. The concluding two movements are noted as Menuet: Moderato and Finale: Presto. Symphony No. 103's four movements are noted as; I. Adagio; Allegro con spirito II. Andante piu tosto allegretto III. Menuet; Trio IV. Finale: Allegro con spirito. The symphony opens with a bright, quite earnest, drumroll solo from the timpani, which is heard again and again, not only in the first movement, but also in the second. Surprisingly, this fine recording has "disappeared" under the "radar screen"; it deserves recognition as among our best recordings of two of Haydn's best-known late "London" symphonies.
