Composition History
The 'Haydn 2032' project aims to record all 107 of Joseph Haydn's symphonies by the 300th anniversary of his birth in 2032.
Interpretation
Giovanni Antonini, the artistic director, approaches Haydn's symphonies thematically rather than chronologically, using programs like 'La passione' and 'Il filosofo'.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Joseph Haydn stated, "I was isolated from the world; no one in my vicinity could make me lose confidence in myself or bother me, and so I was bound to become original."
