About
‘The Time of Day’ provided Haydn with an inspiration to compose and his Symphony numbers 6, 7 & 8 collectively became known as The Day Trilogy.
Celebrating their 30th anniversary, Sigiswald Kuijken and La Petite Bande are highly respected exponents of this repertoire and this recording is no exception to their consistently high standards.
Carrying on with their ‘one instrument to a part’ policy, the recording is presented in a wonderfully light and airy way, allowing the music to shine through.

these readings by a line-up of around 15 players - which seems to have been the size of Haydn's orchestra in his first years in Eisenstadt - sound freshly thought out, with bright solo timbres, plenty of expressive affect, and lively yet unrushed tempos

Haydnistas will need to know that these performances are not harpsichord-accompanied. Tempi are moderate, which is not only a boon in the minuets but enables the solo instruments to speak with full tone in the finales...If you don't have [Haselböck's recording]...you'll be hard-pressed to find a finer period-instrument performance than this.
