Description
It is well known that Haydn was a favoured visitor to London towards the end of his life and spent much time in the English capital. In addition to the famous 'London' symphonies he wrote a considerable amount of other music whilst he was here, including chamber works and, particularly, songs, many of them to English words by his friend Anne Hunter. All of the famous ones are here, along with other, German, settings and the extended scena 'Arianna a Naxos', to an anonymous Italian text.
This delightful programme is shared between three singers, the 20-minute 'Arianna' being given to Bernarda Fink whose recent 'Canciones Amatorias' was received with glowing praise.
