Symphony No. 30 (Michael Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 30 in D major, Perger 21, Sherman 30, MH 399, was written in Salzburg in 1785.
Scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings. In three movements:
- Adagio - Allegro spiritoso
- Andante sostenuto, in G major
- Vivace molto
This symphony is one of the few by Michael Haydn to have a slow introduction to the first movement (Symphony No. 21 is another).
[edit] Discography
On the CPO label, this symphony is available on a CD that also includes Symphonies No.s 21, 31 and 32. There is also an Olympia remastering to CD from an LP recording of Erwin Acel conducting the Oradea Philharmonic; that one also includes Symphonies No.s 18 and 29 (the latter with Miron Raţiu instead of Acel).
