Joseph Haydn's Heiligmesse

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Full disclosure.. I'm an agnostic who enjoys western sacred music with Latin lyrics with the notable exception of the Missa Solemnis, which I never cared for.

Anyway, last night I listened several times to Haydn's Heiligmesse conducted by Sir Neville Marriner. It's such a great performance in every way -- much superior to John Eliot Gardiner's version.

If you love Haydn, wish to learn to love Haydn, or wish to learn to love sacred music, suggest you give a listen...
