Haydn: The Seven Last Words Of Christ On The Cross, 1840 Ver Rafael Ruiberriz De Torres, La Spagna, Irene Benito, Marta Mayoral, Rosa San Martin, Alejandro Maria

After Haydn composed The Seven Last Words for chamber orchestra as a devotional accompaniment to the Good Friday liturgy at Cadiz Cathedral in 1786, several other arrangements were made during his lifetime, by himself and others, all of them familiar to us now: as an oratorio with soloists and chorus, and in string quartet and solo keyboard transcriptions.
