Info for Haydn: Late Symphonies, Vol. 4

Der vierte Band dieser Reihe gipfelt in Haydns großartigsten Sinfonien, die während seines zweiten, triumphalen Besuchs in London entstanden. Die Werke besitzen ein gesteigertes künstlerisches Gewicht und markieren einen Übergang von der Wiener Klassik zur Romantik. Mit ihrer üppigen thematischen Gestaltung, ihrer Lyrik, ihrem Witz und ihren bäuerlichen Anklängen - von denen einige angeblich auf kroatische Melodien zurückgehen - bieten sie eine kaleidoskopische Tour-de-Force seines symphonischen Genies auf dem Zenit seines Schaffens. Einmal mehr setzen Adam Fischer und das Danish Chamber Orchestra bei ihren Aufnahmen die beste technische Aufführungspraxis ein.

Danish Chamber Orchestra
Ádám Fischer, Dirigent

Adam Fischer
The Hungarian-born conductor Adam Fischer qualified from the academy of music in Budapest, with further studies in Vienna. He is much in demand within both the opera and concert repertoire and has cooperated with a great number of leading international concert halls and opera houses, including the Vienna State Opera, La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera as well as orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Adam Fischer has been associated with the Danish Chamber Orchestra since 1997, from 1998 with the title of chief conductor, and remains a major driving force and initiator both in Denmark and internationally.

In 2019, he received the international Wolf Prize, was nominated Conductor of the Year by Presto Classical in the UK and received an Orchestral Award from BBC Music Magazine for the recording of Mahler’s First Symphony with the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra.

In 2022, he received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from International Classical Music Awards (ICMA).

When awarding the Lifetime Achievement Award 2022 ICMA, the jury stated the following motivation:

For decades Adam Fischer has enriched the discographic catalogues with mostly complete recordings of symphonists like Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven or Mahler as well as selected operas. His interpretations, always full of character, display tonal refinement and a broad spectrum of colour as well as striking tempos, drama and clarity. In particular, his many interpretations of 18th-century repertoire enable the listeners to experience new views. Adam Fischer always stands for artistic alternatives in the best sense.
