It is easy for us to forget today that when Haydn first wrote his music it was not just for artistic endeavour, but also to
earn a living and Haydn had to keep his audience - the buyers of his music, and the source of his income - in mind. This programme
explores that notion with performances of symphonies commissioned by his employers, the Esterhazy family. The symphonies showcase
Haydn's zesty freshness of approach and the concert is completed by Mozart's sparkling flute concerto, here played
by the Orchestra's Principal Flautist.
Queen Elizabeth Hall at 5.45pm: OAE Extras: OAE leader
Margaret Faultless talks about Haydn and his audience. Admission free.
