About "Symphony No. 94 in G Major, Hob. I:94 "Surprise": II. Andante" by Capella Istropolitana

Haydn's 'Surprise' Andante is a masterclass in deadpan wit: a genteel, ticking melody suddenly jolted by a fortissimo chord. Capella Istropolitana plays it with knowing restraint, the calm surface barely concealing a mischievous gleam—like a porcelain teacup rattling on its saucer just before it spills.
