Franz Welser-Möst © Roger Mastroianni

Franz Welser-Möst* conducts the incomparable Vienna Philharmonic in this season's last symphony by the 'father' of the form, 'Papa' Haydn (the bicentenary of whose death we mark this year).

One of the first set of 12 'London' Symphonies, No.98 was composed and premiered on Haydn's first visit to England in 1791–2.

Only ever given a rough run-through in Vienna during the composer's all-too-short lifetime, Schubert's 'Great' C major was eventually accorded its posthumous premiere by another of this year's bicentenarians, Felix Mendelssohn, in 1839.
