"Without Haydn there was no Mozart, no Beethoven. All the influence came from Haydn 104 symphonies! Who can write 104 symphonies?" points out Jarvi in the DW documentary.
The making of the album was captured in the DW documentary 'The Haydn Expedition', which will be released this December. The documentary focuses on the Austrian composer who throughout history has been overshadowed in terms of popularity by Beethoven and Mozart.
Among the winners is the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, receiving the Opus Klassik in the best orchestra category for a recent recording of Joseph Haydn's London Symphonies 101 and 103 under the baton of Estonian-American conductor Paavo Jarvi.
Every year, a jury of experts from the music and media industry doles out prizes to the winners in 27 categories, while performances by the likes of pianists Lang Lang and his wife Gina Alice, as well as soprano Ana Prohaska, fill the halls with music.
