Symphony No. 25 (Michael Haydn)

Symphony No. 25 (Michael Haydn)

The Symphony No. 25 in G major, Perger 16, Sherman 25, MH 334 is a classical symphony by Michael Haydn. According to the Breitkopf & Härtel edition, the score calls for flute, 2 oboes, 2 horns and strings; performances tend to include bassoons (always in unison with the celli except for significant passages in the adagio) and a harpsichord playing figured bass based on the cello line. The flute is only used for the first section of the slow movement.

The opus was for a long time believed to be Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 37 in G major, K. 444/425a, but it is now known that Mozart only added an "Andante maestoso" introduction to Michael Haydn's symphony. The true authorship was discovered by Lothar Perger in 1907.

The work is in three movements:

# Allegro con spirito
# Andante sostenuto
# Allegro molto

Discography

Whether or not a recording includes Mozart's introduction depends in part on whether the disc is part of a collection of Mozart or Haydn symphonies.

Bodhan Warchal's box set of Haydn symphonies on the CPO label only includes what Haydn wrote, and the same is true of Matthias Bamert's recording with the London Mozart Players; both put this symphony together with other Haydn symphonies. The Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Christian Zacharias, however, includes, besides this one and Symphony No. 11, his Requiem for the death of Archbishop Sigismund.
