J. Haydn - Hob I:40 - Symphony No. 40 in F major (Hogwood) 

The second movement is a gem, a study in graceful musical motion and a delight to hear.

I love the final movement of this symphony.

Haydn is the father of the symphony. His music is amazing in harmony, grace and elegance. Viva Haydn a true genius of music that gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure and haunting music. Bravissimo

What a rollicking double fugue! Lots of stretto, inversion and a nice pedal sequence right where it belongs at the end. Haydn was the master of invention.

(1763) Composta nello stesso anno della sinfonia n.13, non ne condivide però la tendenza concertante, segnalandosi invece per la concisione e la sobrietà tematica che lasciano presagire Mozart. LDC

Me encantan las músicas de Haydn estan llenas de vida y de asombro,ojala si todo el mundo escuchara su música
