Symphony No. 27 (Michael Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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:
- Grave - Allegro con spirito
- Andante, in E-flat major
- 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 Bohdan Warchal conducting the Slovak Philharmonic; specifically, on disc 6 together with one of the other two Opus 1 symphonies. The BIS CD of the Helsinborg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hans-Peter Frank instead pairs this symphony with No.s 39, 34 and 30.
