Fischer, Boldoczki / Haydn, Beethoven by Haydn, Beethoven, Noiztik (2017/2017), Zuzendaria Adam Fischer, Musikverein Wien, Vienna, Austria

The programme presented by Ádám Fischer and the Wiener Symphoniker is centred around the Viennese classical era. Haydn composed his Symphony No. 101 around a clock ticking, creating a deliberate metronomic foundation. Haydn’s musical time-keeping is mirrored by the pulsating beat of the second movement or the engine driving the final movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, written twelve years after the Haydn piece. Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major is not only one of the foremost concertos for trumpet but also one of Haydn’s best known solo concertos. In this late work, the composer shaped the features of the Viennese classical style. It will be performed by the celebrated Hungarian trumpeter Gábor Boldoczki.
