Nikolaus Esterhazy moved his household to his new palace at Esterhaza. Haydn now had an opera house and singers at his disposal and turned to opera with an enthusiasm only dampened by the realisation that his efforts could never match the works of his great friend Mozart.

La Petite Bande, conductor Sigiswald Kuijken
L 'Incontro Improviso (excerpt)
Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, conductor Antal Dorati
