The London Symphonies Volume 2

Ah, Haydn, the man, the myth, the symphony-writing legend. In this second volume of his "London" symphonies, RCGO and Davis deliver a performance that is as charming as a cup of tea on a rainy day. From the gentle lilt of the opening Allegro to the jaunty Menuet and Trio, each movement is like a perfect little British garden, meticulously tended and bursting with life. The symphonies are filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping the listener on their toes and never quite sure where Haydn will take them next. The RCGO orchestra plays with a precision and vitality that is truly impressive, bringing out the nuances and subtleties of Haydn's score with finesse. Davis conducts with a light touch, guiding the musicians through the intricate passages with grace and skill. Overall, this album is a delightful romp through some of Haydn's most beloved works, brought to life by the talented musicians of RCGO and their conductor. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a pint of ale, and settle in for a jolly good time with Haydn: Syms London - Vol 2. Cheers!
