Joseph Swensen is convinced: it's always a good idea to return to Haydn's symphonies. The finesse of the work, the quality of the listening, the chamber music character: all the ingredients are there to cultivate the excellence of the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine, acclaimed by the critics since the arrival of its musical director. In this series of recent symphonies (known as ?London symphonies? because they were premiered in London), there is plenty to bring the interpretation to life. In the pendulum of a clock, in the astonishing interplay of timpani, or in the invigorating momentum of a ?con spirito? finale, the musicians will have the opportunity to experience, once again, the beautiful complicity they share with J.S.
