About

Johannes Klumpp writes: “The chronological journey through Joseph Haydn’s surviving symphonies that we began in Volume 25 now continues with his Symphony no. 107. Do not be misled by the high number! Composed about 1760/61, this is a work from Haydn’s early days, before his time at Schloss Esterházy. It was undoubtedly commissioned by Graf Morzin, who was Haydn’s employer at the time. All the symphonies on this album are practically never played. Our desire, then, is to introduce them to a modern audience through our recordings. Our aim is to make Haydn audible – in all his vividness, liveliness, musicality and joie de vivre. Haydn was a radiantly sunny composer: he shines when you cast light upon him! On this release, therefore, we travel with Haydn from his time in the service of Graf Morzin to his days at Esterházy. Symphony no. 15 marks his arrival at this destination. A new era begins – we show you the steps by which it was reached!”

Nominee in the Symphonic category

2023 ICMA Nominee

“… Thank heavens for the Heidelbergers’ Haydn project. Quite apart from their valuable reinterpretations of the later, more familiar works, the attention they can pay to these marginal pieces as they range step by step through the symphonies never fails to pay dividends… “

Mario-Felix Vogt - Rondo magazine (Germany) - Issue no 3 2022

“Johannes Klumpp and the Heidelberger Sinfoniker make a strong case for these early symphonies.”

Michael Cookson – MusicWeb-International.com – 19 May 2022

“… The 26th installment of this Haydn series follows on seamlessly from the previous editions. With historical performance practice, the relatively short symphonies (all less than 20 minutes) sound crisp and brilliant. Klumpp admittedly doesn’t race through the works, but conducts quite rhetorically, and the interpretations are noteworthy for the power of the music’s inherent drama. The Heidelberg Symphony once again plays superbly, grippingly and lively.” ****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 3 May 2022
