Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) earned the title the Father of the Symphony, shaping the Classical era with wit, invention, and masterful orchestration. Symphony No. 104 in D major, Hob. I/104, widely known as the London Symphony, premiered in London in 1795 where it proved to be a financial and artistic triumph. Today, this work remains a cornerstone of orchestral repertoire, celebrated for its bright opening Adagio introduction, lively Allegro, expressive Andante, graceful Minuet, and spirited Finale Spiritoso. This performer page highlights Haydn’s life, notable recordings in the London series, and upcoming live appearances where orchestras bring the London Symphony to audiences once again.
