Ouverture zu "Orlando Paladino", Symphonie Nr. 22 In Es-Dur "Der Philosoph", Ouverture Zu 'L'isola disabitata", Symphonie Nr. 26 In D-Moll "Lamentatione"

Released by the Austrian label Amadeo during the mid-20th century, this recording captures the Orchester der Wiener Festwochen under the baton of the celebrated cellist and conductor Antonio Janigro. This release serves as a curated selection of Joseph Haydn’s symphonic and operatic overture works, reflecting the period's growing post-war interest in historical performance practice and the rigorous exploration of the Viennese classical repertoire.

The album is representative of Amadeo’s commitment to documenting regional European orchestras and their interpretations of core classical masters. By pairing the Sturm und Drang intensity of the 'Lamentatione' symphony with the lighter operatic overtures, the collection provides a snapshot of Haydn's stylistic versatility. Janigro’s direction was noted for its clarity and technical precision, aiming to strip away excessive romantic affectations to reveal the structural brilliance of Haydn’s mid-career compositions.
