Haydn: String Quartet, Op. 51 'Seven Last Words'

Quatuor 1781, La Chapelle Rhénane, Hélène Walter, Salomé Haller, Benoit Haller, Pierre-Yves Cras

Haydn's "The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross," originally written for orchestra, has undergone numerous adaptations, from oratorio to string quartet. Benoît Haller and Guillaume Humbrecht now present a version for string and vocal quartet. The new arrangement required some changes in the vocal parts, as well as the transcription of the second introduction for string quartet instead of wind ensemble. The transparent "re-creation" is performed with great enthusiasm and attention to detail by the eight musicians of the Chapelle Rhénane and the Quatuor 1781.
