Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 27 in B-flat major, Opus 1 No. 2, Perger 18, Sherman 27, MH 358, written in Salzburg in 1784, is the first of the B-flat major symphonies attributed to Joseph Haydn in Hoboken's catalog.

Scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings. In three movements:

  1. Grave - Allegro con spirito
  2. Andante, in E-flat major
  3. Presto

This symphony is one of the few by Michael Haydn to have a slow introduction to the first movement (Symphonies No.s 21 and 30 are two others).

[edit] Discography

Included in a set of 20 symphonies on the CPO label with Bodhan Warchal conducting the Slovak Philharmonic; specifically, on disc 6 together with the other two Opus 1 symphonies.
