Ignaz Pleyel

Symphony in D major, Benton 147

Orchestra

Anton Gabmayer


Pleyel was one of the most popular and prolific composers in western Europe at the turn of the nineteenth century. This symphony, composed in 1791, represents a grandiose gesture to his teacher Haydn, since the Adagio second movement and the Finale are clearly related to his music. A dramatic first movement and a surprisingly rich Minuet and Trio complete this striking work, written for London's "Professional Concerts" society.


...a strong case for the need to reinstate this and similar pieces by Pleyel in the regular concert repertoire. This new performing edition by Edition HH adds further weight to the argument.
