It’s also an awe-inspiring contemplation of life’s profoundest questions, conveyed through music of enormous courage and compassion, beauty and power. Charismatic interpreter of 18th century music, Riccardo Minasi is joined by the excellent SCO Chorus and a brilliant roster of vocal soloists. Another ambitious piece launches this concert of choral splendours. Haydn’s ‘Mass in a Time of War’ is a joyful and deeply expressive celebration of peace, first heard when Austria feared invasion by Napoleon’s armies.
