Notes
Sir Simon Rattle pays homage to a composer he holds close to his heart with An Imaginary Orchestral Journey through the music of Joseph Haydn. Rattle trawls through the great composer’s impressive catalogue, piecing together excerpts from symphonies, oratorios and operas spanning a 40-year period in what the director describes as ‘a kind of greatest hits’ format.
‘The idea is to make a musical journey through all that is quirky and extraordinary, humorous and profound in Haydn,’ the LSO’s Music Director explains. Sir Simon’s focus is on Haydn as innovator, showcasing his most forward-looking and outlandish works in 50 minutes of uninterrupted performance.
What results from Sir Simon’s pasticcio is a clear image of the composer he sees to best represent the ideals of the Enlightenment, his selection meticulously arranged to best demonstrate Haydn’s intelligence, wit and thoughtfulness.

Reviews
"... this sequence is a true breath of fresh air, enabling even died-in-the-wool Haydnistas to hear something new in these often forgotten gems of genius."
David Threasher - Gramophone magazine - April 2018
"...Simon Rattle conducts a pasticcio made of 13 excerpts from mostly not too well known compositions by Joseph Haydn, focussing the innovative character of the Austrian’s music. A nice and inspired promotion for a composer being familiar for only a very small part of his immense output." **** (Good)
Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu - 2 February 2018
