Experimental Lament

Joseph Haydn's 107 symphonies have almost everything: ticking clocks, clucking chickens, an unexpected drumbeat. Symphony No. 26, entitled "Lamentatione", is also an experimental work, albeit one of the more serious kind: in it Haydn adapted choral themes from a late medieval Passion play. But even if one does not recognise the quotations, the sadness and emotional depth of this music cannot be ignored. The fact that Haydn then struck a completely different, namely defiant and edgy tone in the concluding minuet was undoubtedly typical of him. And it is an advantage for Giovanni Antonini, who has a special flair for Haydn's musical surprises. To this end, he conducts Beethoven's Mass in C major: So after the unofficial sacred work, there is also an official one.
