About

This is the first volume of a new series of hybrid SACD recordings of the symphonies of Joseph Haydn by the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic and its highly regarded conductor Jaap van Zweden.

Although it was written in Paris in 1789, the first work included on this CD, Symphony No.92, is nicknamed the 'Oxford', because the work was performed when Haydn was given an honorary degree at Oxford University.

The Symphony No.94 in G Major 'Surprise', is so called because of the sudden climax early in the second movement. Haydn’s 97th Symphony in C Major is the fifth in the group of twelve known as the London symphonies and was composed in 1792 on his first trip to the capital.

Born in Amsterdam in 1960, at the age of nineteen Jaap van Zweden became the youngest ever concert master of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Since beginning his conducting career in 1995, he has been Chief Conductor of the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra (1996-2000), and Chief Conductor of the Residentie Orchestra (2000-2005). He has already released the complete Beethoven symphonies with the Residentie Orchestra.
