1772, Esterh谩za. In a remote palace deep in the Hungarian marshes, Joseph Haydn works under the patronage of Prince Nikolaus Esterh谩zy. Cut off from the wider musical world, he writes at speed for a resident orchestra, shaping and testing ideas.

Historian Simon Schama joins Gillian Moore to explore how Haydn expands the possibilities of a developing orchestral form: the symphony. And how his career moves from court isolation to international recognition on the commercial concert stage.

Gillian Moore is joined by a roster of distinguished historians for this major new 麻豆社 Radio 3 series, charting a course through 1000 years of classical music history. For Episodes 17 - 24, Gillian welcomes Simon Schama to help her explore the fascinating stories and rich sound worlds of the Classical and early Romantic eras.
