200th anniversary recording of Haydn's Nelson Mass.
The news of Nelson's victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 reached Vienna shortly after Haydn had completed this commission for one of the royal princesses. The same year saw the publication of the first ever symphonies in Russia, the work of the Bohemian composer at Catherine the Great's court who styled himself M. le Baron de Wanczura.
This recording was made in Fotheringhay Church, Northamptonshire on 6 September 1997 and is dedicated to the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales.
"A spirited version of Haydn's magnificent Nelson Mass, with crisp, punchy orchestra and choirs, and good soloists"
