In Search of Haydn

Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was one of the world's greatest musical innovators. His close friend Mozart and his student Beethoven were inspired by him. As the finest composer of the day Haydn changed the world of music forever. By speaking to the world's foremost exponents of Haydn's music this film shed light on the master and his work. Director Phil Grabsky's ("In Search of Mozart", "In Search of Beethoven") biographical account of the life of Haydn is a visual and aural extravaganza. Through intimate and revealing interviews with experts, and detailed extracts from Haydn's personal letters, the audience gains tremendous insight not only into Haydn's music, but an appreciation of the artist himself.
