Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
Episode 5 of 5: A Wider World

All this week, Donald Macleod explores Haydn's time at the Hungarian palace of Eszterháza, the composer's primary base of operations for nearly a quarter of a century and the place where, he said, he 'was forced to become original'.

Today, as Haydn begins to outgrow Eszterháza, his international reputation starts to generate commissions: from Naples, where King Ferdinand's passion for a curious musical instrument resulted in a series of works for the lira organizzata (a sort of hurdy-gurdy on stilts); from Paris, where a request for six new symphonies for the exclusive (and masonically connected) series known as the Concert de Loge Olympique led to what we now know as the 'Paris' symphonies; and from London, ushering in the final and most glorious chapter in the composer's career.
