The warm light of Haydn's late symphonies is portrayed by a mature baton.
Bruno Walter conducts the Columbia Symphony Orchestra in this collection of Haydn works, a gentle performance that harmonizes soft tones with classical symmetry.
This recording of Haydn by Bruno Walter in his later years exudes his maturity as a conductor. Featuring "Symphonies No. 88" and "No. 100 (Military)," it is characterized by a clear, humane tempo. The Columbia Symphony Orchestra's warm tone and soft string resonance blend beautifully with Walter's philosophical musical perspective. With an interpretation that emphasizes lyricism over power, this recording is highly regarded as a mid-20th century classical performance. A masterpiece with a rich audio sound.
