Composer of the Week: Haydn

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

5/5. Donald Macleod looks at the final chapter of the composer's operatic career, when the move from Eszterhaza to London led to fame, fortune and international recognition. Of the two operas written for performance at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, Armida was enthusiastically received while Orfeo ed Euridice, sadly, was not received at all. Act 3, Scene I (Armida)
Soloists, Vienna Concentus Musicus, conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt
Act 2, Scene 1; Al Tuo Seno Fortunato (Act 3); Coro di Furie (Act 4) (Orfeo ed Euridice) Soloists, Academy of Ancient Music, conductor Christopher Hogwood
