Furthermore, the Symphony in G major is a flowing piece that combines refined French elegance with Haydn’s characteristic humor. Featuring a superb performance by Haras, who specializes in Classical-era music.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Symphonies concertantes, Op. 9\/11 in C major~I.
