Episode 3

Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), Episode 3

Haydn often chose awful libretti. La vera costanza is typical, yet its music is inspired.

Donald Macleod looks at Haydn's neglected operas, concentrating on his choice of libretti. Featuring excerpts from Il mondo della luna and La vera costanza.

If Haydn's operas have failed to catch on, it's certainly not the fault of the music. Donald Macleod considers the composer's dreadful choice of libretti. In terms of textual turkey, La vera costanza is a prime offender, yet it contains some of Haydn's most inspired music.

BBC Radio 3 - Twenty Minutes, Haydn and the Enlightenment

Dermot Clinch looks at the influence of Freemasonry and the Enlightenment on Haydn.

Dermot Clinch investigates the influence of Freemansonry and the Enlightenment on Haydn's music. Contributions are from Dermot David Schroeder, Keith Moore and Simon McVeigh.

Haydn joined the Masonic Lodge Zur wahren Eintracht in Vienna in 1785, but he was not a member for very long, and was reputedly not particularly interested in Freemasonry. Dermot Clinch investigates Haydn's connections with Masonic ideas, and talks to scholars of the 18th century Enlightenment, including Professor David Schroeder who feels that the Enlightenment had a strong influence on the composer's music.
