Symphony No. 100 in G major, ‘Military’, Hob.I:100
Missa in angustiis, ‘Nelson Mass’, Hob.XXII:11

Experience two grand classics, alive with all the excitement and verve of their very first performances. Thrill to one of Haydn’s masterful ‘London’ symphonies that wowed England’s capital – the smash hit ‘Military’, so-called for intense depictions of the clash of arms and ferocious roar of war. In the epic Nelson Mass Handel and Haydn Society's magnificent chorus and soloists join the orchestra in this homage to the heroic admiral who helped to vanquish Napoleon.

Handel and Haydn Society is America's oldest continuously operating arts organisation. Harry Christophers has been Artistic Director since 2008 during which time the Society has released 13 recordings on CORO including Haydn’s 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.
