The Master and the Prodigy

Andrei Feher, conductor

Haydn: Symphony No. 83 in G minor, The Hen
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 1 in C minor

Haydn’s lighthearted Symphony No. 83, The Hen, is full of winsome, outdoorsy melodies – a true treat for the brain and the ears from a composer at the height of his powers. Written when he was just 15 years old, Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1 follows Haydn’s traditional symphonic sequence, and is filled with energy and drama.
