List of symphonies by Joseph Haydn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are 106 symphonies by the classical composer Joseph Haydn. Of these, 104 have numbers associated with them which were originally assigned by Eusebius Mandyczewski in 1908 in the chronological order that was known at the time.[1] In the subsequent decades, numerous inaccuracies in the chronology (especially in the lower numbers) were found, but the Mandyczewski numbers were so widely used that when Anthony van Hoboken compiled his catalogue of Haydn's works, he incorporated the Mandyczewski number into Catalogue I (e.g., Symphony No. 34 is listed as Hob. I/34).[1] Also in that time period, two additional symphonies were discovered (which were assigned non-Mandyczewskian letters A and B) bringing the total to 106.

Hoboken also includes four other works in his "Symphony" category (Hob. I):
- Hob. I/105 in B-flat major, better known as the Sinfonia Concertante for violin, cello, oboe and bassoon (1792)
- Hob. I/106, for which only one part has survived (1769?)
- Hob. I/107 in B-flat major, often known not by a number but as Symphony A (composed by 1762)
- Hob. I/108 in B-flat major, often known not by a number but as Symphony B (composed by 1765)
Hob. I/105 is not really a symphony, but a sinfonia concertante, and as No. 106 has not survived to the present day, the number of "symphonies" by Haydn is usually assumed to be 106.[2]
[edit] Complete recordings
Four conductors have recorded the complete symphonies of Joseph Haydn.
- The first to complete the recording project was the Austrian conductor Ernst Märzendorfer, who recorded them with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra. However, this set of recordings had a very limited release and remains largely unknown.[3]
- The first to make a complete recording that was widely available was the Hungarian-British conductor Antal Doráti, with the Philharmonia Hungarica.
- Hungarian conductor Ádám Fischer recorded a complete cycle in the late 1990s with the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra.
- In 2009, American conductor Dennis Russell Davies completed a cycle with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra.[4]
