The Handel and Haydn Society celebrates Haydn with a dazzling pairing of two of the composer's masterpieces. In one of his final performances as Artistic Director of the Society, Harry Christophers leads the ensemble and
a stellar cast of soloists in Haydn's monumental 'Theresienmesse' (Mass in B-flat major - Hob.XXII:12) and his Symphony No. 103 in E-flat major (Hob.I:103) the 'Drumroll' - one of Haydn's twelve 'London' symphonies composed between 1791 and 1795 when London was the indisputable musical capital of Europe.

Handel and Haydn Society is America's oldest continuously operating arts organisation. Harry Christophers has been Artistic Director since 2008during which time the Society has released 15 recordings on CORO including Haydn's The Creation, all six of his 'Paris' Symphonies, Mozart's Requiem and
Handel's Messiah, and a Christmas album - 'Joy to the World' - celebrating America's favourite festive tunes.

"This chorus is consistently excellent, but something had lit a special fire under them… Of the "Theresienmesse" the chorus and orchestra made a brilliant tapestry' Boston Globe

"The Adagio is a hymnlike being that showcases Boston's wonderful woodwind soloists, while the rustic Minuet provides a characteristically Haydnesque contrast...Christophers once again demonstrates that his 203-year old band are in rude health." GRAMOPHONE on Haydn Symphonies Nos. 49 & 87 (COR16168)
