San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra celebrates it's 30th Anniversary Season in 2010-11. Led by Music Director Nicholas McGegan since 1985, Philharmonia Baroque is recognized as one of the finest chamber orchestras, as well as one of the most exciting period instrument ensembles, in the country. This trio of Haydn symphonies displays the remarkably consistent quality and inventiveness of the composer's output. From the clever and concise symphony No.88 to the humorous Clock to the dazzling and sonorous symphony No.104 (Haydn's swan song to the genre), this superb collection bears eloquent witness to Haydn's consummate mastery.
