DISCOVER HAYDN: THE LONDON SYMPHONY
The years he spent in London were some of the happiest of Haydn’s life. He was respected and appreciated, and had time to travel as well as to compose. Some of his most famous works were created on English soil, such as the London Symphony and Sinfonia concertante. The opera L’anima del filosofo was also written in London, but it did not première until 140 years after Haydn’s death. Concertmaster Tomo Keller and several soloists from the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra present a tribute worthy of this master of classicism.
Malin Broman and Tomo Keller talk about their relationship with Haydn.
