In the third installment in their acclaimed series, Harry Christophers and the Handel and Haydn Society present a new live recording devoted to the master of the symphony – Joseph Haydn. This release showcases Haydn’s Symphony No. 8 Le soir, which completes the trilogy written for Prince Paul Anton Esterházy. Also included is the later Symphony No. 84 which shows just how much Haydn’s symphonies had transformed from those early years. Not only is it an incredible fusion of grace, brilliance and warmth but it also contains one of the most striking wind band solos in all of his Paris symphonies. Completing the programme is the Violin Concerto in A major performed by H+H’s fiery and expressive Concertmaster, Aisslinn Nosky.
In this musical, the team of Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics) turns the Biblical story of the founding of Christianity into a human tale that has continued to delight and inspire listeners since it's premiere in 1970. Starring Ian Gillian (Deep Purple) as Jesus, this release features the original London cast and includes the Libertto. This title is one of MCA's conversions of Classic Ultimate Master Disc to frontline pricing and is now available in a trim line double CD package.
