Papa Haydn's Surprise

The Life of Hayden set to his own music
Expelled for cutting off a choirboy's pigtail!...Climbing up the scaffolding of a royal palace!...Being punished for breaking the rules!


Franz Josef Haydn's mischievious childhood strikes a chord with every child. Ann reveals the truth behind the ""Surprise"" Symphony and tells how a naughty boy became Papa Haydn - Father of the Symphony.


Music of Haydn performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, The Philharmonia Orchestra and The Medici Quartet.
