A subtle extremist, in his Symphony no.51 Haydn throws down some extraordinary challenges to his horn players - can they beat the ‘immutable forces of nature’?
Listening time 30 mins (podcast 9′, music 21′)
Music here on YouTube, Spotify and [with links to first movement only] on Apple and Amazon played by The English Concert, conducted by Trevor Pinnock. They're playing on 'period instruments' which Haydn would recognise including valveless natural horns played by Anthony Halstead and colleague.
You can buy the recording as a download from Presto music (on its own or with a whole bunch of other Haydn symphonies)
