RIP Bernard Haitink 1929-2021 It's not that I'm shocked - he lived 92 years in this life. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing though. Haitink was one of the greatest conductors of our age and a true ambassador of his art. Humble and faithful to the music in every situation, his sober and revealing visions of such a wide range of repertoire has left us with a rich recorded legacy of some of the greatest reference recordings, made with the greatest orcheatras in the world. And that's without even touching on his eminently distinguished career with the great Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Since the very beginning of my journey with orchestral music, my record collection has gotten steadily more littered with Haitink readings. Despite his notable absence of flamboyance or histrionics - dare I say ego, even - with Haitink, you can safely go for absolutely ANY of his recordings, without ANY hesitation or need for prior research or reviews, and rest assured in the knowledge that you'll ALWAYS be presented with an outstanding, emotionally intelligent and profound rendition of whatever that piece may be. There's not many conductors in that bracket. I was just lucky enough to catch Haitink live a couple of times, including a stunning Bruckner 6th symphony with the Dresden Staatskapelle. I'm very sad to hear he has left us.
This was the first ever Haydn symphony I ever heard, I was always a fan of Beethoven. While reading Beethoven's biography, I came to know that Haydn briefly taught him at some point so I decided to listen to his symphonies and man, as soon as the symphony started I was like "yup, this guy trained Beethoven" . Haydn easily became one of my favourite composers because his compositions are a blend between Beethoven and Mozart, both melodious and epic
Dear Faiq Hayden is underestimated in the world to day. He has been called the father of the symphony and the string quartet. He had very famous neighbors in his life, Mozart and Beethoven, and new them both. He is half forgotten here in Iceland, but not in Europe I believe. His last symphonies, the London Symphonies, are his greatest and this one was his last.
@@einarkristjansson6812 Hayden (Recte: Haydn) is not underestimated, though his music is probably not as well known as it should be; neither is he the father of either the symphony or string quartet- an absurd proposition that only survives today because it is endlessly re-cycled without a thought given to the fact that it is complete nonsense, and factually unsustainable. Haydn is better known and understood in some countries than others, but that’s true of most composers. Haydn knew Mozart and Beethoven very well; as all three lived in Vienna, I suppose they were neighbours, though Beethoven didn’t arrive in the city until after Mozart’s death so never met him. The ‘London’ symphonies are some of the greatest 18th century Classical symphonies - along with Mozart’s last six; but don’t under-estimate many of Haydn’s earlier symphonies which are very great as well. I would suggest about 65 out of the 107 (sic) could be labelled as ‘absolutely essential listening’, 41 as ‘essential listening’, and 1 is ‘required listening’, necessary just to say you know all 107 and have completed the set (Tease - which one ?).
Bernard Haitink was a genius. Thank you for the music maestro Bernard. I grew up with your wonderful interpretations of music that you made to sound astonishing. Thank you Maestro!
If I only I knew why Haydn was not as famous as Mozart. I know most of his works now after 37 years of listening: the man is set apart at the very height of musical creation - it was worth a life to be here to and know his music, I truly believe that.
When I get to Hell, I am going to try to do a collaborative piece with Wagner. If not, I am sure JS Bach will have thought up some new wonderful melodies by then, who cares though when you got eternity!
This is a very fine performance. Not everyone will agree with the "dual tempos" approach to II, but it works for me. Haitink is an international treasure.
The architect of the classical style in full flow, and you can hear his influence on Beethoven - the pregnant pauses, the harmonic excursions and his willingness to just let the orchestra have a good old bop occasionally.
A masterpiece with few equals. The capstone of the master Haydn`s symphonic output. It is a pity he is not known as well as Mozart, because he is the equal.
kappelmeister123 Haydn was also skilled at opera, and since many of them have been discovered, they are being performed widely. Haydn was also an outdoors man who was a crack shot.
Anthony Walter Mozart`s themes are usually built of 4 measure structures and are easier to follow. Haydn`s are irregular and and more sophisticated therefor more unpredictable. Both are very great composers.
Wonderful performance. No 104 , the last of the 'London 12'. Composed, first performance & first audience was in London. Composed by FJ Haydn, father of the symphony & String Quartet. This symphony is also FJ Haydn saying both a fond goodbye & thank you to London. Especially when you consider what they went on to compose after this. In that case 'The Creation'. The rest as they say is history. Once again. Bravo, one and all.
Great comment - except for one thing: there is as much evidence for Haydn being ‘Father of the Symphony/String Quartet’ as there is for him being Father Christmas. PS. The composer’s name is Joseph Haydn; the baptismal ‘Franz’ was *never* used in his own lifetime, and to do so today is as ridiculous as adding the following redundant baptismals to this well-known name - Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.

Ye Gods, why is Haydn so delicious! Almost every few seconds, a twist, a surprise and a treat. To have taken a formal old fashioned minuet form and breathed new life into it ....how about that drum roll? The drones in the last movement? Every symphony he wrote seems to have something special, from sublime melody to laugh-out-loud jokes. A Shakespearean breadth of expression.
@@George._.M I remember that my grandma had a CD with this symphony in her apartment in Belo Horizonte and I used to listen to it among other classical music CDs while studying. So I had listened to it multiple times. Wow, this comment was already 8 years ago! 2007+8 = 2015... 2015+8 = 2023. 😲 And I still didn't forget 😅
I remember this performance too, never thought over a million of you would watch it. It is possibly the most " sturm und drang " that he ever wrote because he was genuinely conflicted about leaving. He didn't like London especially but he had a great time whilst he was here. King George had asked him to stay offering a fair lump of Kensington Palace as lodgings. And at least 2 ladies that had catered for other needs. Perhaps his genius are the last two notes, which are goodbye, as you would say it..
Im just now getting into classical music since i decided i wanted to learn the violin, im here because part of this song is in my work book. Its interesting because i was never into classical before but there is a lot new for me so its very interesting
i have heard many versions of this and this is GOOD ,exactly the tempo i like ( weather thats right or wrong i don't care ) it suits me and obviously haitink bravo and as for encore i have viewed this several times and will view again
Haydn at the proms! How rare is that? he has been largely ignored over the last few years. We have a new proms director now. Will it be any different? We shall see, but I'm not counting on it.
The Albert Hall is totally unsuitable for pre-Romantic music (with small orchestras) as it is much too large. I've heard Mozart and Haydn played there and the sound just gets lost. As they now also use Cadogan Hall for some chamber music performances, that would be a much better choice.
This is a bit of a dangerous heresy, and you are likely to have the Mozartians in an uproar. I always feel that Mozart is a towering genius whose music is glittering, profound, and sometimes tiresomely perfect. But of the two, I know whose company I would have preferred. As I get older, I appreciate Haydn's warmth and wit more and more.
@@dabedwards I get your point, but likening Haydn to a ‘…comfy pair of slippers’ does him a huge disservice, and is of course a million miles away from the views of Mozart (openly), CPE Bach(in print), and Beethoven (tetchily) all of whom rated him rather more highly.
@@dabedwards Your revised comment is much better and reflects the composer’s very particular originality; it also puts you more in line with professional contemporaries like CPE Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, along with the wider public all over Europe for whom he was quite simply, the most popular and celebrated composer across the continent until his retirement (one of the things that irked Beethoven until the early 19th century, and a factor in their rather difficult relationship as Beethoven thought it should be himself).
shnimuc is surely correct about this work. Presumably he or she meant Mozart's equal in the evolution of the symphony (structure, form and influence on future composers?), as opposed to overall musical genius in other forms? Haydn gives us all hope - he was positively ancient by 18th century standards but like a miracle produced his finest works late on, proving his creativity was not deadened by time
I feel as though this is the last classical symphony in a way. It premiered in 1795 (4 years after Mozart died), and Beethoven was right around the corner. It is a modest and charming swan song.
@@starrynight1657 Beethoven is not really something to be tagged on to the end of the Classical world of Mozart and Haydn, neither is he a Romantic composer as defined by Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Liszt. My suggested way out of the problem is to label him *post-Classical,* along with composers like Cherubini, Rossini and Hummel for example who similarly do not fit comfortably into either Classical or Romantic.
I love the corpulent bassist. He is playing with gusto and glee......and he is sitting in the middle of the orchestra......that's so original........... some sort of metronome......when Haitink closes his eyes for a second or two it doesn't mean that he is dosing (you dud!), but he is part of the creative process.
This is the final symphony performed by the Northern Orchestra under the direction of Gordon Lucas. I was concertmaster until our health authority essentially shut us down with province-wide vaccine passports to perform or attend concerts. Now I get tears when I hear this piece.
The 4th movement is, IMO, the pinnacle of the "classical" period (i.e. pre- Beethoven 3rd) symphony. Not even Mozart in his later symphonies could surpass this.
Please?? Loool it's good but not that good!! For me mozart is the best composer of all time!! The man was 35 when he died!! Imagine him in his later years like beethovan was!! Mozart for me is the best but i like beethovan as well!! Mozart's 41st 4th movement is betters than this!! Stop hating
JACKSONVILLE1200 Who's hating bro? Certainly not me. I love the Mozart symphonies as well but I happen to think this symphony by Haydn is the best of it's kind - personal opinion just like yours!
Bijzonder de overlopende maat, zodat de lange vierdelige maat even indruk wekt van een driekwartsmaat. Dit is ook te horen in de fantasie van Sweelinck, zoals behandeld in de masterclassles van Pieter van Dijk, organist in Alkmaar.
Sinfonía 104 "Londres", última obra musical en este género del genial Joseph Haydn. Pese a el movimiento romántico se ha impuesto en la fecha de composición, esta sinfonía esta aún sujeta a los esquemas del clasicismo en gran medida.
I love how to conductor is a beat earlier than the musicians it's hilarious but it also is driving me mad. Other than that, I love the tempo change at measure 17. Playing it at my middle school for UIL!
The slower the music, the further behind the beat an advanced musician will play. You don't have time to see and process the direction given by the conductor if you are playing right on top of them. Hope this helps! I study bass at university level :)
@@paulsomers6048 Haydn as ‘Father of the Symphony/String Quartet’ is pure misinformation, and in some cases disinformation; Boccherini or any other single nominated composer is as well. Haydn, Mozart, Boccherini, et al, as you say *developed* the form, and Haydn in particular from the mid/late 18th century established a standard by which all future composers of string quartets would be measured. Apart from that, you’re quite right, Boccherini wrote some very fine chamber music, and his string quartets - and obviously, his rather more numerous quintets as well - are exquisite, and beautifully and professionally composed, but here too we are into the area of urban myth, Boccherini’s first set of string quartets were published in 1761 which *post-dates* Haydn’s first quartets (c.1754 - 1757) by several years.
IMO, a deeper analysis reveals that Beethoven's symphonic style and approach are largely more derived from the innovations of Joseph Haydn, particularly exemplified in Haydn's Symphony No. 104, than from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphonies Nos. 39-41. Haydn's Influence: The Architect of Modern Symphonism I view Haydn's Symphony No. 104, the last of his "London Symphonies," as the pinnacle of his symphonic work, showcasing advanced thematic development and orchestration. This symphony, along with his other late works, laid the groundwork for what would become the Romantic symphony. Haydn's focus on thematic exploration and the dramatic use of the orchestra set a template that Beethoven followed and expanded upon. Unlike Mozart, whose symphonies often contained operatic elements due to his strong roots in vocal music, Haydn's approach was more instrumentally focused, seeking to push the limits of orchestral expression. Beethoven's Path: Building on Haydn's Foundations Beethoven, not primarily an operatic composer himself, naturally gravitated towards Haydn's approach, in my view. His symphonies are characterized by a robust use of thematic development, innovative orchestration, and a dynamic exploration of form - aspects that are derived from Haydn's late symphonic style. While Beethoven was influenced by the chromaticism and harmonic language of the late Mozart, the structural and thematic aspects of his work are more aligned with Haydn's principles, as I see it. ***The Mozartian Symphony: A Distinct Branch*** Contrary to most beliefs, I find that the symphonic proposition put forth by Mozart, particularly in his last three symphonies (Nos. 39-41), did not find a direct continuation in Beethoven's work. Mozart's approach can be seen as a synthesis of various musical elements rather than a revolution in symphonic form(an original synthesis of Johann Sebastian Bach's fuge/counterpoint, the operatic elements inherent in his own work, and the sonata form as developed by Haydn). His contribution to the symphony lies more in the refinement and integration of these elements rather than in a radical transformation of the form. The Legacy of Haydn continued into Weber and Wagner The influence of Haydn's thematic symphonism extended beyond Beethoven, composers like Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, also drew from the symphonic school pioneered by Haydn. Their works, while distinct in their own right, continue the exploration of thematic development and orchestral innovation initiated by Haydn.
This really brings back memories...

Haydn's last few years were difficult for him, since new musical ideas kept running through his mind, but he no longer had the energy to develop them.
@@westlock
You’re quite right, but he said this in the early 1800’s about ten years after composing this symphony (1795).
Haydn was in retirement in Vienna, was too weak to compose anything further, but as he said himself, he was ‘tortured’ by ideas.
Those sudden silences are almost a Haydn trademark. Perhaps he wanted to be sure his audiences paid attention. 😁
@@jochanaan58
The pauses or silent bars Haydn sometimes puts in are all part of the dramatic effect, and tend to ratchet up the tension as in:
i) Symphony 39 - first movement exposition.
ii) Piano sonata in b minor(Hob. XVI:32) - Finale.
iii) Symphony 101 (‘The Clock’) - Andante movement, where the empty bars (half of 98 and all of 99) very effectively prepare the ear for the abrupt change of key - for 1794 - from G to E flat.
iv) Et cetera.
These silences or pauses by the way are almost never humorous as suggested by many of the TH-cam critics, and Beethoven used them as did Haydn; interestingly, Mozart rarely did, and that’s one of the reasons many people find his music better balanced and more smoothly flowing than the sometimes odd disruptions and defying of expectations you find in Haydn and Beethoven.

Im just now getting into classical music since i decided i wanted to learn the violin, im here because part of this song is in my work book. Its interesting because i was never into classical before but there is a lot new for me so its very interesting
The one and only Haydn. Great performance.
His brother Michael is good too...
i have heard many versions of this and this is GOOD ,exactly the tempo i like ( weather thats right or wrong i don't care ) it suits me and obviously haitink bravo and as for encore i have viewed this several times and will view again
This symphony remind me life of high school generation. because I was playing this symphony on contrabass in extracurricular activities of music then.
The second movement is one of his best ever. Used to play it on my garage piano.
Wonderful sound!
Compositor,Director y Orquesta,todos del mismo gran nivel.Excelente interpretacio'n!.-
0:02 1st movement | 4:42 | 7:48 |
9:43 2nd movement | 16:53 3rd movement | 21:57 4th movement | 28:36 ending
the entire masterpiece in less than the time of a single Mahler movement.. theres something to be said for that.
Brevity is the Soul of Wit.
You’re quite right; the quality of music is not something that can be judged by measuring it or weighing it.
Not all Mahler movements are THAT long!
Haydn at the proms! How rare is that? he has been largely ignored over the last few years. We have a new proms director now. Will it be any different? We shall see, but I'm not counting on it.
The Albert Hall is totally unsuitable for pre-Romantic music (with small orchestras) as it is much too large. I've heard Mozart and Haydn played there and the sound just gets lost. As they now also use Cadogan Hall for some chamber music performances, that would be a much better choice.
they’re playing this on tuesday at this years proms! i’m going to see it, very excited !!
RIP Maestro 🙏
Love the music
beatiful music i must say
Tough oboe part. Haydn often works the oboe hard, but lovely for us oboes to have good moments.
I don't know if also used Hoboes. Or ...
Thomas Curran this fact is why I love Haydn - man writes amazing oboe parts! All I have to do is sound good :) lol
Lovely
Lol all the coughing after the 1st mvt
the audience was polite and mesmerized enough to hold their breathes XD
I really was scared that they are gonna clap XD

Ese momento en el que amas que tu tarea de musica sea escuchar sinfonías :3
I learned this symphony by playing the entire piano reduction. It is definitely my favorite by Papa Haydn.
Haydn though a good Catholic was never made Pope.
*2:30** gave me the goosebumps*
inhuman perfection. mindblowing!
I have always found Haydn to be far more enjoyable than Mozart. He always sounds fresh and inventive and few works have a sameness about them.
This is a bit of a dangerous heresy, and you are likely to have the Mozartians in an uproar. I always feel that Mozart is a towering genius whose music is glittering, profound, and sometimes tiresomely perfect. But of the two, I know whose company I would have preferred. As I get older, I appreciate Haydn's warmth and wit more and more.
@@dabedwards
I get your point, but likening Haydn to a ‘…comfy pair of slippers’ does him a huge disservice, and is of course a million miles away from the views of Mozart (openly), CPE Bach(in print), and Beethoven (tetchily) all of whom rated him rather more highly.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 You are quite right. It was a poor metaphor, I have edited the comment.
@@dabedwards
Your revised comment is much better and reflects the composer’s very particular originality; it also puts you more in line with professional contemporaries like CPE Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, along with the wider public all over Europe for whom he was quite simply, the most popular and celebrated composer across the continent until his retirement (one of the things that irked Beethoven until the early 19th century, and a factor in their rather difficult relationship as Beethoven thought it should be himself).
Gracias,es muy bonita.
Really loves how this one builds to the end climax 🐔
shnimuc is surely correct about this work. Presumably he or she meant Mozart's equal in the evolution of the symphony (structure, form and influence on future composers?), as opposed to overall musical genius in other forms? Haydn gives us all hope - he was positively ancient by 18th century standards but like a miracle produced his finest works late on, proving his creativity was not deadened by time
Haydn really is fantastic!
For anyone doing the educas music AS level resource book section F, the bit it is talking about is at 6:05
Thx for that info!
perfect music to listen to while writing an essay on music history ;D
Yes, because it certainly won't distract you much...
I feel as though this is the last classical symphony in a way. It premiered in 1795 (4 years after Mozart died), and Beethoven was right around the corner. It is a modest and charming swan song.
The first part of your comment is as insightful and perceptive as the last sentence is misguided and inaccurate.
Beethoven was a classicist as well, you could also argue Schubert was.
@@starrynight1657
Beethoven is not really something to be tagged on to the end of the Classical world of Mozart and Haydn, neither is he a Romantic composer as defined by Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Liszt.
My suggested way out of the problem is to label him *post-Classical,* along with composers like Cherubini, Rossini and Hummel for example who similarly do not fit comfortably into either Classical or Romantic.
ich höre eigentlich metal aber davon bin ich auch sehr angetan. perfekt um den morgen zu starten oder den abend ausklingen zu lassen :)
I was there that evening. It was pretty good, the Strauss is even better.
I know it's only symphony but I like it, like it, yes, I do!
Who came from music history
hey hello me

You know the answer.
I love the corpulent bassist. He is playing with gusto and glee......and he is sitting in the middle of the orchestra......that's so original........... some sort of metronome......when Haitink closes his eyes for a second or two it doesn't mean that he is dosing (you dud!), but he is part of the creative process.
This is the final symphony performed by the Northern Orchestra under the direction of Gordon Lucas. I was concertmaster until our health authority essentially shut us down with province-wide vaccine passports to perform or attend concerts. Now I get tears when I hear this piece.
It is mind blowing!!!
I love how beethovenian this 4th movement sounds :D
The 4th movement is, IMO, the pinnacle of the "classical" period (i.e. pre- Beethoven 3rd) symphony. Not even Mozart in his later symphonies could surpass this.
Please?? Loool it's good but not that good!! For me mozart is the best composer of all time!! The man was 35 when he died!! Imagine him in his later years like beethovan was!! Mozart for me is the best but i like beethovan as well!! Mozart's 41st 4th movement is betters than this!! Stop hating
JACKSONVILLE1200
Who's hating bro? Certainly not me. I love the Mozart symphonies as well but I happen to think this symphony by Haydn is the best of it's kind - personal opinion just like yours!
+cameronpaul again personal opinion but I do think most people would disagree with it!
JACKSONVILLE1200
Yes I'm sure you're right.
+cameronpaul thank you
Bijzonder de overlopende maat, zodat de lange vierdelige maat even indruk wekt van een driekwartsmaat. Dit is ook te horen in de fantasie van Sweelinck, zoals behandeld in de masterclassles van Pieter van Dijk, organist in Alkmaar.
This is my first piece to practice for conducting lessons. xD
Waving and drowning ? Haha. Only joking.
This was my first too! :D
Same.....
Zeyar Shwe 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same!
Sinfonía 104 "Londres", última obra musical en este género del genial Joseph Haydn. Pese a el movimiento romántico se ha impuesto en la fecha de composición, esta sinfonía esta aún sujeta a los esquemas del clasicismo en gran medida.
I love how to conductor is a beat earlier than the musicians it's hilarious but it also is driving me mad. Other than that, I love the tempo change at measure 17. Playing it at my middle school for UIL!
The slower the music, the further behind the beat an advanced musician will play. You don't have time to see and process the direction given by the conductor if you are playing right on top of them. Hope this helps! I study bass at university level :)
So great for focusing on homework
9:20
Entire audience: Hey, there's some silence, lets all take a moment to cough
Hayden... el padre de las sinfonías. Vale la pena oirla completa y deleitarse en el movimiento final.
Also the step-father of the string quartet. Invented by Boccherini, but matured buy Haydn. Listen to his quartets to hear his absolutely finest music!
@@paulsomers6048
Haydn as ‘Father of the Symphony/String Quartet’ is pure misinformation, and in some cases disinformation; Boccherini or any other single nominated composer is as well.
Haydn, Mozart, Boccherini, et al, as you say *developed* the form, and Haydn in particular from the mid/late 18th century established a standard by which all future composers of string quartets would be measured.
Apart from that, you’re quite right, Boccherini wrote some very fine chamber music, and his string quartets - and obviously, his rather more numerous quintets as well - are exquisite, and beautifully and professionally composed, but here too we are into the area of urban myth, Boccherini’s first set of string quartets were published in 1761 which *post-dates* Haydn’s first quartets (c.1754 - 1757) by several years.
28:55 best piece of music ever!!!
OK troll.
28.55 best piece of music ever!
First performed in London in May 1795.
excellent!!!
IMO, a deeper analysis reveals that Beethoven's symphonic style and approach are largely more derived from the innovations of Joseph Haydn, particularly exemplified in Haydn's Symphony No. 104, than from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphonies Nos. 39-41.
Haydn's Influence: The Architect of Modern Symphonism
I view Haydn's Symphony No. 104, the last of his "London Symphonies," as the pinnacle of his symphonic work, showcasing advanced thematic development and orchestration. This symphony, along with his other late works, laid the groundwork for what would become the Romantic symphony. Haydn's focus on thematic exploration and the dramatic use of the orchestra set a template that Beethoven followed and expanded upon. Unlike Mozart, whose symphonies often contained operatic elements due to his strong roots in vocal music, Haydn's approach was more instrumentally focused, seeking to push the limits of orchestral expression.
Beethoven's Path: Building on Haydn's Foundations
Beethoven, not primarily an operatic composer himself, naturally gravitated towards Haydn's approach, in my view. His symphonies are characterized by a robust use of thematic development, innovative orchestration, and a dynamic exploration of form - aspects that are derived from Haydn's late symphonic style. While Beethoven was influenced by the chromaticism and harmonic language of the late Mozart, the structural and thematic aspects of his work are more aligned with Haydn's principles, as I see it.
***The Mozartian Symphony: A Distinct Branch***
Contrary to most beliefs, I find that the symphonic proposition put forth by Mozart, particularly in his last three symphonies (Nos. 39-41), did not find a direct continuation in Beethoven's work. Mozart's approach can be seen as a synthesis of various musical elements rather than a revolution in symphonic form(an original synthesis of Johann Sebastian Bach's fuge/counterpoint, the operatic elements inherent in his own work, and the sonata form as developed by Haydn). His contribution to the symphony lies more in the refinement and integration of these elements rather than in a radical transformation of the form.
The Legacy of Haydn continued into Weber and Wagner
The influence of Haydn's thematic symphonism extended beyond Beethoven, composers like Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, also drew from the symphonic school pioneered by Haydn. Their works, while distinct in their own right, continue the exploration of thematic development and orchestral innovation initiated by Haydn.
97 influenced Beethoven.
