Joseph Haydn - Haydn 2032: Gli Impresari: - Volume 7

Under the title 'Gli impresari', 'The Impresarios' - i.e. the directors of the theatre troupes that Nikolaus I, Prince Esterházy engaged to perform in his opera houses - this CD gathers together some of the orchestral works by Joseph Haydn linked by their origin and their reception. They were originally conceived as theatre music, before their metamorphosis into symphonies. On 3 January 1776 'Thamos, King of Egypt' was staged, a heroic drama whose choruses, musicologists now believe, were composed by none other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
