Haydn expert Giovanni Antonini conducts Haydn's final symphony

When Joseph Haydn arrived in London in the 1790s, he was received like a rock star, and there was thunderous applause at his farewell concert, which featured his final symphony. At this concert, you'll also hear the Mozart serenade that made Salieri hear "the voice of God" in the film Amadeus, and an overture by the almost forgotten German-Swedish composer Joseph Martin Kraus, whom Haydn called a genius.

In Vienna, Stockholm, and London, three composers created works that have retained their power through the centuries. Mozart's Gran Partita made (at least if we are to believe the film Amadeus) the composer Salieri hear "the voice of God." Kraus's Olympie overture reveals a composer who dared to give his emotions free rein. And Haydn's farewell symphony is a prime example of why he is known today as the father of the symphony.
