Recorded: 7 October 2008, Waldsassen Basilika
Commemorating the 200th anniversary of F. J. Haydns death, BR KLASSIK releases a live concert recording of the Harmony Mass from the Abbey Basilica in Waldsassen.
An especially festive atmosphere, in which we can participate both acoustically & visually with this DVD, was the dominant mood of this concert in the famous Abbey Basilica of Waldsassen in the Upper Palatinate. Among lovers of baroque church architecture, Waldsassen ranks as one of the most significant sacred buildings in Bavaria. The lush setting also includes the richest treasure-trove of relics north of the Alps. In addition to the Symphony in G major, Hob. I:88 and the Sinfonia D major, Hob. Ia:7, the performance in Waldsassen in October of 2008 also included Franz Joseph Haydn's Harmony Mass. |
