Haydn's Surprise Symphony

Haydn's Surprise Symphony

at Music Center at Strathmore

Zuill Bailey, cello
Piotr Gajewski, conductor

Prague, the capital of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), was one of the few cities to show genuine interest in Mozart’s work during his lifetime. The Symphony No. 38 (“Prague”) is a masterpiece of Mozart’s mature style and one of the finest works in the Viennese Classical style. Celebrated cellist Zuill Bailey performs Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 2, which not only brilliantly exploits the resources of the instrument, but also rewards the listener with music of extraordinary beauty and elegance. The concert concludes with Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 (“Surprise”), known as the “Symphony with the Drumbeat.”
