About
Continuing their acclaimed live series on CORO, the Handel and Haydn Society presents one of Haydn’s early Sturm und Drang (storm and stress) symphonies – No. 26 in D minor. More commonly known as ‘Lamentatione’ because of its association with Easter week, Haydn incorporates an old plainsong chant ofthe Passion of Christ juxtaposing it against the furious opening theme. The later Paris Symphony No. 86, with its unusual 'offtonic' exposition, shows Haydn at his most inventive and expansive; richly scored it tests the performers’ skill and technique to the limit. Completing the programme is Mozart’s lively and vibrant Violin Concerto in G major performed by H+H’s inspirational Concertmaster, Aisslinn Nosky. Handel and Haydn Society is America's oldest continuously operating arts organisation. Harry Christophers has been Artistic Director since 2008.

Classical Music April 2018
[Symphony No. 26] Christophers presents the powerful, restless first movement perfectly, the raucous valveless horns of its close perfectly judged. The first plainchant melody provides the first movement second subject; the real magic is the oboe’s long-breathed second movement statement of a theme from the Lamentations of Jeremiah. Mozart’s Violin Concerto No 3 acts as sandwich filling. This is lean Mozart, but with plenty of spirit. Aisslinn Nosky is a fine, pure soloist; the highlight is the central Adagio, where she spins a magical line over an even more magical accompaniment.
