"Symphonies Nos. 104 & 103 - Scenes of London"

The great city of London has captured the imagination of artists, poets, playwrights, musicians and travelers for generations.

This volume of the NAXOS MUSICAL JOURNEY features Joseph Haydn's famed London and Drum Roll symphonies. From the splendor of Buckingham Palace to the majestic Westminter Abbey; from the excitement of Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square to the beauty of the river Thames. Climb the Tower of London and see the glittering Crown Jewels or stroll the grounds of Hyde Park. From world-renowned museums to castle gardens, this is a trip as enduring as the music of Haydn.
