Joseph Haydn composed the three symphonies on this album (part 5 of the "Late Symphonies" series) in the mid-1780s with a sense of triumph. Although he was still in the service of the Esterhazy family, he had recently been allowed to publish his music himself and accept commissions from outside. A series of symphonies were then commissioned by a new ensemble that had recently been founded in Paris. Although superficially similar, they reveal Haydn's inexhaustible creativity, whether in the astonishingly colorful introduction to No. 84, the rustic interludes in the trio section of No. 85 - a favorite of Marie Antoinette - or in the grandest of the Paris symphonies, No. 86 - here the transition from the slow introduction to the main section is unparalleled in his oeuvre. Adam Fischer and the Danish Chamber Orchestra are known for their recordings of classical music. Their interpretation of Haydn's symphonies is characterized in particular by dynamic contrasts, clarity and an approach reminiscent of chamber music.
