Musica Sacra: Seven last words of the Savior on the cross

Haydn's setting of the Seven Last Words was composed in 1786 as a commissioned work for the Good Friday liturgy in Cádiz, Spain. Haydn sets the last words of Christ to music in a slow and solemn structure - musical meditations of impressive stillness, expressiveness and spiritual depth. Members of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz will perform this special composition in the intimate atmosphere of St. Martin's Church
