Album information
Giovanni Antonini is reunited with the Kammerorchester Basel for the twelfth volume in the widely acclaimed Haydn2032 series which is devoted to ‘games and pleasures’.
The symphonies recorded here, nos. 61, 66 and 69, were composed for the daily theatrical performances held at Eszterháza Palace in the spring of 1776. For Haydn they marked the end of a festive period, before he had to return to the serious business of writing operas.
The ‘Toy Symphony’, attributed to Haydn for 200 years before it was discovered that it was in all probability composed by a Benedictine monk, completes the programme in a similarly light and cheerful atmosphere.

'Giovanni Antonini swaps his ensemble Il Giardino Armonico for the Basel Chamber Orchestra, whose translucent textures do full justice to the instrumental finesse of these classical yet imaginative works.'
Radio Classique
Best of 2022: 'Nos. 60, 66 and 61, according to their supposed order of composition—are brought to thrilling life here under Giovanni Antonioni's high-octane direction.'
Apple Music
'At the head of a particularly virtuoso Basel Chamber Orchestra, Giovanni Antonini vividly sketches the contours of a music entirely dedicated to happiness and joy.'
