The symphony Haydn referred to was the Sinfonie in C minor VB2 142 (VB2 = 2nd impression of the Kraus Catalog of Works after Bertil van Boer 1998), in fact one of the most fascinating and thrilling symphonic compositions, stylistically still strongly linked to the ‘Sturm und Drang’ period, as was Kraus generally in his character and his artistic outlook.
Although a lot has happened to bring Joseph Martin Kraus to wider prominence over the last 30 years or so (since the 200th anniversary of his death in 1992), not least through the phenomenal recording of his symphonies by Concerto Köln, he is still s
