Haydn composed the three symphonies in this volume during the mid-1780s in a spirit of triumph. Though still employed by the Esterhazy family, he had recently been allowed to publish his music himself and to accept outside commissions. A number of symphonies were duly commissioned by a new, large ensemble recently established in Paris. Superficially similar, they reveal Haydn's inexhaustible creativity whether in the astonishingly colourful introduction to No. 84, the rustic interludes in the trio section of No. 85 - a favourite of Marie Antoinette, or in the greatest of the Paris symphonies, No. 86, where the transition from the slow introduction to the main section is unequalled in his music.
Tracks:
1.1 Symphony No. 84 in E Flat Major, Hob.I:84-I. Largo - Allegro
1.6 Symphony No. 85 in B Flat Major, Hob.I:85 'La Reine'-II. Romanze: Allegretto
1.9 Symphony No. 86 in D Major, Hob.I:86-I. Adagio - Allegro Spirituoso
