Haydn: Seven Last Words

Haydn received a detailed commission for the cathedral of Cadiz in Spain, asking him to write ceremonial music for Good Friday. His challenge was to create an engaging and individual work out of the curious musical form prescribed by the ritual. Haydn professed great difficulty in writing 7 instrumental 'Adagios' of 10 minutes each without fatiguing the listener, but the result is a triumph of concentration, contemplation and spirituality.
