Haydn: The Seasons

Haydn’s last great oratorio, The Seasons, is quite simply a masterpiece. It received its first performance in 1801, when Haydn was in his seventieth year and still at the height of his creative powers. The Seasons depicts the year-round story of country folk. The vocal writing is glorious, and the orchestra vividly brings to life the many moods of nature. Sadly the piece is not often performed, so this is a rare opportunity to hear it: a real treat for lovers of choral music, and not to be missed!
