Haydn Sir Thomas Beecham - London Symphonies The Seasons
Review by Ashutosh Dubey
London Symphonies The Seasons by Haydn Sir Thomas Beecham is a remarkable classical music album that showcases the genius of both the composer and the conductor. The album comprises four symphonies, each representing a season of the year, and is performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Sir Thomas Beecham.
The album opens with the Symphony No. 85 in B-flat major, "La Reine," which represents the season of summer. The orchestra's performance is lively and energetic, capturing the essence of the season with its bright melodies and playful rhythms. The following symphony, No. 93 in D major, represents autumn and is a more somber and introspective piece. The orchestra's performance is nuanced and emotive, conveying the melancholy and introspection of the season.
The third symphony, No. 94 in G major, represents winter and is a more dramatic and intense piece. The orchestra's performance is powerful and evocative, capturing the drama and tension of the season. The final symphony, No. 101 in D major, represents spring and is a joyous and celebratory piece. The orchestra's performance is vibrant and enthusiastic, capturing the exuberance and energy of the season.

About Haydn Sir Thomas Beecham
Born: 1732-03-31 (Rohrau, Austria) Born 31 march or 1st April, 1732.
Died: 1809-09-05 (Vienna, Austria).
Franz Joseph Haydn was an Austrian composer of the Classical period.
He brings the "sonata form" to a very high degree of improvement.
His symphonies and his string quartets (forms of which he is considered "the father") have become highly inspirational style models.
Haydn made a fundamental contribution to the development of chamber music; thanks to the numerous quartets,
trios for piano, for strings and also with the unusual trios for baryton, viola and cello.
