Unfortunately, Nikolaus Harnoncourt was not well enough to conduct a performance of Haydn's Seasons for this year's Internationale Barocktage Stift Melk (Michael Schade, Artistic Director). The upside is, in its place, Ö1 re-broacast this 2001 Festival performance (the first year Herr Schade participated in the festival):
Dorothea Röschmann, Soprano
Michael Schade, Tenor
Gerald Finley, Bass
Arnold Schoenberg Chor
Concentus Musicus Wien
Nikolaus Harnoncourt
Recorded December 7, 2001 in the Stiftskirche Melk
Bonus: If you'd rather watch and listen, I just came across this:
Ha! Sweet!!
