Composer of the Week: Joseph Haydn

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

(1732-1809) During Haydn's first 20 years of service at the Esterhazy court the Prince retained exclusive rights over his works. But in 1779 a new contract was signed giving Haydn the freedom to offer works to any interested parties across Europe. Donald Macleod looks at the composer's last ten years at Eszterhaza and the works he wrote both for the Esterhazys and for his patrons abroad. Part 1.
