This new and highly-anticipated release of three symphonies of Franz Joseph Haydn follows the Royal Northern Sinfonia and Rebecca Miller’s acclaimed recording of the works of CPE Bach with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment: “Self-critical perspective is clearly not a problem for these artists ... the unfurling description of a lover’s kisses permit all kinds of glorious opportunities for the singers’ seemingly telepathic understanding for chiaroscuro, impeccable tuning and innate grammatical sense” (Gramophone, Editor’s Choice, May 2015)
