City Of London Choir - HAYDN:PAUKENMESSE

New recording of two great, late choral works by Haydn � written in a turbulent time when Austria was under attack, facing imminent invasion. Nelson Mass (�Mass In Time Of Fear�) is Haydn�s most dramatic and exciting mass. Mass In Time Of War (�Paukenmesse�) echoes this unrest with its famous prominent timpani part, yet the music concludes on a note of triumphant optimism. Hilary Davan Wetton is one of the UK�s most experienced choral conductors, with a long association with the City of London Choir. City of London Choir has earned an enviable reputation for its distinctive youthful sound and the quality of its performances.
