    Even Haydn's earliest symphonies are a joy to listen to!
  • Symphony n°2 is among those which Haydn composed for Count Morzin between 1757 and 1759. The Morzins resided in Prague and had a summer palace in Lukavec, near Pilsen in Bohemia. The work has only three movements, i.e. no minuet, and is unique in Haydn's symphonic output in that there are no repeat signs in any of the movements, each of which is through-composed (“durchkomponiert”). H.C. Robbins Landon describes symphony n°2 as “much more learned than n°1”, among others because of the use of various contrapuntal techniques (in fact, according to Sonja Gerlach's research [1996], n°37 and n°18 chronologically lie between n°1 and n°2, all being composed between 1757 and 1759). The last movement is an innovative five-part rondo. In Antonini's sweeping performance the work comes across as a convincing little masterpiece.
