An exceptional and eagerly-awaited live recording of Haydn’s 12 ‘London Symphonies’ performed during a series of highly-acclaimed concerts in Vienna
by Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre-Grenoble.
The ‘London Symphonies’ on this four-CD set were recorded at performances given at the
Wiener Konzerthaus in June, 2009. They caused great enthusiasm among audiences and
critics alike: “an orchestra playing at its very best – the performances of Haydn were
exemplary. Exhilarating!” (Wiener Zeitung, June 2009). These concerts by Marc Minkowski
and his orchestra in Vienna were praised by the international press: “the performance was
a real success, warmly acclaimed by the audience.” (Kronenzeitung, June 2009). The
recording has just been awarded a ‘Diapason d’Or’ by the French Magazine ‘Diapason’.
Marc Minkowski’s Les Musiciens du Louvre-Grenoble, which he founded in1982, is one of
the most versatile, inventive and original ensembles currently active. The orchestra is
particularly familiar with Haydn’s work, having partly established its reputation with
critically acclaimed interpretations of this repertoire. Minkowski’s recording of the ‘London
Symphonies’ is a significant contribution to the conductor’s project to reinterpret
symphonies and operas from the Baroque era right through to modern music.
