J. Haydn - Hob I:89 - Symphony No. 89 in F major (Brüggen) 

O to

Of the 107 Haydn symphonies, I would suggest that: 65 are *absolutely essential* listening 41 are *essential* listening 1 is *required* listening in order to say that you have heard the complete symphonies of Haydn.

I agree! This symphony was a revelation to me. It doesn't get enough press because of its (justly) famous sister work, No. 88 in G Major, but it is thoroughly engaging and entertaining.

I guess I am quite off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online ?

@Saul Grayson I use Flixzone. Just google for it =)

@Amos Jaxx Definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for since march myself =)

@Amos Jaxx thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !!

He wasn't, actually. Try the Michael Haydn 18th symphony from 1773, it has far more Mozartian traits than anything in joseph

And Haydn's 82 has far more Beethovenian traits that anything in Wolfgang, and? Actually the father could be Sammartini or someone close to that generation.

@@joseluisperdigon5263 There is no single ‘father of the symphony’; the form emerged from the hands of different composers in different places including as you say Sammartini in Milan, to whom you could add Johann Stamitz, Richter, Holzbauer and Fils in Mannheim, and Wagenseil and Monn in Vienna - there are others as well.

@@elaineblackhurst1509 There's no father of anything in arts. Actually is a methaphor some writers use for different purposes. For me is better to enjoy arts and know well each contribution, than try to make such classifications.

@@joseluisperdigon5263 I think that’s basically exactly what I said.
