Orkest van de Achttiende Eeuw & Arthur Japin

It was the work he himself loved most and the very last he ever conducted: Franz Joseph Haydn set a milestone in his oeuvre with Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze (The seven last words of our Saviour on the cross) – a commission from the Andalusian port city of Cádiz.

For an unprecedented version of this colossal classic, the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century is joined by Dutch author Arthur Japin, who recites from his own work: a story about a Jewish girl at the time of the (re)conquista.
