About
Haydn: Symphony No. 101 is the first LP featuring Robin Ticciati and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s charismatic partnership.
To make it extra special this is a 45rpm Supercut, 180g vinyl which gives you everything you love about LPs but more: better dynamics, less noise and a cleaner Hi-Fi response.
Giving a snapshot of Haydn’s symphonic repertoire Ticciati conducts the first of Haydn’s famous ‘London’ Symphonies, ‘The Clock’, which has its focus firmly on the future.
Ticciati’s approach takes the best elements of authenticity present in period performances, but with the dynamic range, space, colour and life that modern performance practice brings.
Ticciati beautifully highlights the lines, clarity and shape of the music, a skill he brought to bear in his Schumann symphonies recording which garnered several five star reviews and accolades upon release.
Haydn has occasionally been treated a little too ‘tidily’ by orchestras, but these performances are alive and excitingly fresh.
Robin Ticciati’s recordings have received many accolades: Critics’ Choice ‘Sound of 2012’ (The Independent), ‘Classical CD of the Week’ (Sunday Times), ‘Disc of the Week’ (BBC Radio 3 ‘CD Review’), two Top 10 entries in The Sunday Times’ Best Classical Albums list (2012 & 2014) and ‘Recording of the Month’ (Gramophone).
Robin Ticciati is in his fifth season as Principal Conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. He began his tenure as Music Director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera in May 2014.
Gramophone named Robin one of the top ten young ‘conductors on the verge of greatness ’ and one of 'Tomorrow's Icons'.
Scottish Chamber Orchestra celebrated it fortieth anniversary year in 2014; this is its twenty third recording with Linn.

CD Review 12th September 2015
They have a lovely feel for that early, more baroque kind of Haydn. They actually give us what is effectively a three symphony overview… with plenty of punch character and colour. I gather this is volume one – they are going to be releasing three more of the symphonies next year, and on the strength of this first one I’ll definitely be listening.
23rd August 2015
Ticciati’s decision to programme three symphonies in D major from different stages of Haydn’s career is a clever and attractive one. Of his 104 numbered works in the genre, there is scarcely a dud, but these are all gems...The SCO revel in the brio, dash and pathos of this life enhancing music.
Pizzicato
absolute perfection.
