Johann Michael Haydn's music has inevitably been overshadowed by that of his elder brother Franz Joseph, but his music represents some of the best features of 18th century classicism. These four Sinfonias span just over a decade, from the graceful combination of elegance and liveliness in the Sinfonia in D, the muted violins in the Adagietto affettuoso of the Sinfonia in E flat, the lovely sicilienne of the Sinfonia in B flat to the substantial Sinfonia in F, which features a solo violin and cor anglais playing together or in alternation. Volume 1 of this series can be heard on Naxos 8573497.

"Patrick Gallois and the Czech Chamber Philharmonic of Pardubice provide crisp, energetic, stylish readings, though harpsichordist Filip Dvořák is noticeably more subdued in his contribution this time around." Fanfare
