Symphony No. 101 in D major, 'Clock' (2nd mvt, Andante)

Available for over a year

Delicate, elegant and charming, the lower strings provide the ‘tick-tock’ motion of a clock’s pendulum in the movement that gives this symphony its nickname ‘The Clock’. Written in Haydn’s first visit to London, it’s proved a hit ever since. Composer: Joseph Haydn Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Yan Pascal Tortelier Recording date: 24 July 1999 Date of broadcast: 24 July 1999
