A comprehensive survey spanning Haydn's career: the early "Times of Day" symphonies (No. 6 Le Matin, No. 7 Le Midi, No. 8 Le Soir) offer pastoral poetry and structural innovation, while the later symphonies (35, 46, 51) showcase his mature voice—more ambitious, increasingly complex. This two-disc set traces the evolution of his symphonic thinking across decades. Fey and the Heidelberger Sinfoniker bring consistent interpretive vision, emphasizing period sensibility while maintaining richness of tone. A perfect introduction to Haydn's symphonic world, or a rich reconsideration for those already familiar.
