For this second volume in the Haydn 2032 project, the complete recording
of his symphonies, Giovanni Antonini has chosen to put forward the
Symphony Der Philosoph. He associates with it a symphony by
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, eldest son of the Kantor of Leipzig, who is
generally considered the most gifted of his sons. Different reasons
brought these two great composers the originality and sometimes
eccentricity that characterize their works, one suffering from the fame
of his father, the other from his own genius. Whereas Haydn’s symphonies
differentiate themselves by form, orchestration and keys, W. F. Bach’s begins in the style of a Baroque overture, gradually turning into a
tempestuous piece and perhaps already reflecting the transition from a
‘Golden Age’ to the more tormented world that will follow the Age of
Enlightenment. (Outhere Music)
