Franz Joseph Haydn was working hard well into his 60s, accepting work to compose an opera, half a dozen symphonies, and work as a conductor in London… and this was at a time when the average life expectancy was only 40 years old! One of the symphonies Haydn completed at this time was his Symphony No. 99 in E-flat, and it’s our Evening Masterwork tonight at 7 on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9.
