Joseph Haydn - The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross

Joseph Haydn - The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross. Moscow Symphony Orchestra, Almeida. State Academic Choir of Russia. A rare masterpiece. Expansive and dramatic verse contrasting excitingly with the powerful rhythms of the orchestra, notable for dramatic outbursts from the timpani and trumpets."This is a worthy competitor to the Harnoncourt. A true Russian choir with roof-rattling basses, honeyed tenors, and female voices with the sweetness and edge of a fruit brandy" - American Record Guide.
