The second volume in this series (Volume 1 is on 8.574516) is devoted to three more 'London' symphonies. No. 96 in D major 'The Miracle' - so named, as the legend goes, after a falling chandelier narrowly missed the audience during its Hanover Square Rooms premiere - exemplifies the grandeur of these works. The structural surprises of No. 97 in C major and the hymnal slow movement of No. 98 in B flat major reinforce Haydn's inexhaustible compositional versatility and inventiveness. These recordings are the product of a two-decade partnership between Adam Fischer and the Danish Chamber Orchestra during which they have explored the most effective technical solutions necessary for performing these works.
"Fischer must have conducted more Haydn than anyone alive. And after half a century's immersion in these symphonies his delight in the composer's unpredictable inventiveness and (in the finales) darting wit is as palpable as ever." Gramophone
