About
Master of the classical symphony, form and drama, Haydn excels in achieving maximum effect and expression in his music. Symphony No. 96 in particular, a majestic symphony, received the following review in March 1791 on its premiere:
“…never was there a richer musical treat... [Symphony No. 96] was pronounced to be the most wonderful composition, but the first movement in particular rises in grandeur of subject, and in rich variety of air and passion, beyond even any of his own productions.”
