Goosebumps or hairs standing up on the back of the neck don’t seem to work here though I wanted to retain some ideas of the literal meaning as well if possible

brought goosebumps to the audience and was received enthusiastically
No reason why you can't maintain the idiom here.
"In particular, ***** with his solo (performance) of (a piece by) Joseph Haydn brought goosebumps to the audience, and was received enthusiastically (and was thrilling, exciting etc.).
