Die Sieben Letzten Worte

I Solisti di Zagreb, Antonio Janigro
Vanguard Classics 08 5024 71

The most sacred, and to some as well as to me, the most beloved symphony of Joseph Haydn, whose spiritual dimension was recognised just in 20th century, both by exquisite interpretations and courageous attempts of various composers, such as the one of Sofia Gubaidulina. This recording is exactly one of such significant revivals of The Seven Last Words, dating back to 1964, the age of dominance of various soloists and virtuosi, so the same formula was reasonably chosen for I Solisti di Zagreb as well to follow the trend.
