David Watkin: conductor
Haydn’s morning, noon and night symphonies are akin to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons – but instead of a whole year, Haydn describes a single day in the life of your average aristocrat. Starting with a ravishing sunrise he progresses through hunting, dancing, bucolic pleasures and formal occasions, sunset and night. He wrote this music for the superb orchestra where he worked at Eisenstadt, so the music is peppered with lovely solos for the star musicians.
PLEASE NOTE: This event takes place at St Cuthbert’s Parish Church, 5 Lothian Road, Edinburgh EH1 2EP.
