[Ben Palmer 🇪🇺 @conductorben]

Lots of favourite things: the ending of Haydn 103, with @dphilmerck, at @StaatstheaterDA. @Baerenreiter @HaydnSocGB

[Berliner Philharmoniker @BerlinPhil]

🎉 Happy 290th Birthday, Joseph #Haydn! Here, François-Xavier Roth conducts the festive finale of the Symphony No. 59, aka "Fire Symphony" » https://t.co/NwZ6uloKem, a relatively early work, composed in the mid-1760s, soon after Haydn entered the service of the Esterházy family.

[Leonard Bernstein @LennyBernstein]

Happy Birthday to Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)!

We share with you a video of Leonard Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic / Wiener Philharmoniker in a performance of the finale of Haydn's Symphony No. 94 "Surprise".

[#BIRTHDAY] 😉🎶 Papa Haydn turns one year older! Relive the 2015 edition of the @LucerneFestival alongside a playful @SirSimonRattle, who conducted his own 10-movement mash-up of Haydn’s greatest hits, and Haydn-esque musical jokes! 😉🎶 https://t.co/REgy2WaPG0

Today is #Haydn’s birthday (born 1732). At times of anxiety or trouble, I’ve found his music to be wonderfully stabilising & restorative, especially the symphonies, string quartets & choral music. Thankful for him today.

[Barenreiter @Baerenreiter]

Happy Birthday Joseph Haydn

Here is his house in Haydngasse, Vienna where he spent the last 12 years of his life and composed the Creation and the Seasons

He kept a gray, red-tailed parrot that greeted visitors by squawking 'Papa Haydn!'

A wonderful place to visit

[Barenreiter @Baerenreiter]

A little reminder from Papa Haydn that if you are in the UK the clock goes back an hour tonight!

[Catherine Kustanczy @catekustanczy]

"He became a vessel for the piece." My tribute to Bernard Haitink is now up. Deepest thanks to Sir Antonio Pappano, Vladimir Jurowski, @conductorben, @kennethwoods, @KalliJari, Paul Watkins, & @DSCH_Journal editor Alan Mercer for their moving contributions https://t.co/g8p3UV6iKb

[Ben Palmer 🇪🇺 @conductorben]

After 22 months without Haydn, a whole day of @HaydnProject was just ❤️. No. 59 I’ve conducted before, but 43 was new to me, so I’m now 86/107.

[Peter Ellis @petejellis]

@conductorben @HaydnProject During a kids proms a few years ago I had an open podium for the littlies to give Pomp and Circ 4 a go. Some of them had a clarity of beat and economy of gesture that would shame some of the megabucks maestros I’ve suffered.

[Ben Palmer 🇪🇺 @conductorben]

My (very-nearly-three) Felix conducting an orchestra for the first time: a read through the start of Haydn 59 with @HaydnProject ❤️ He’ll be nicking my gigs soon.

[Ben Palmer 🇪🇺 @conductorben]

✈️ BER-LHR. Thanks to my dear @babylon_orch colleagues for another brilliant sold-out Metropolis at @BABYLON_Berlin last night - see you next week! Safely back in London, and ready for a day of @HaydnProject ❤️

[Ben Palmer 🇪🇺 @conductorben]

Feeling incredibly lucky to have a weekend of favourite things ahead: Metropolis with @babylon_orch at @BABYLON_Berlin on Sat, and Haydn 43 & 59 back in London on Sun with my dear @HaydnProject. It’s been 22 months since I’ve conducted any Haydn, and I can’t WAIT.

[POLYPHONIC @polyphonicfilms]

Stream @FlorilegiumUK 30th Anniversary Concert at https://t.co/MXxDEG0eEC - this wonderful programme was due to tour the UK earlier this year but cancelled due to pandemic. Haydn's evocative 'Morning, Noon and Night' symphonies... #SupportSmallStreamers #classicalmusic
