From Sveriges Radio:Haydn: The Seasons (Spring and Summer)
Dorothea Röschmann,
soprano
Joachim Bäckström, tenor
Andrew Foster-Williams, baritone
Swedish Radio Chorus and
Orchestra
Philipp von Steinaecker,
conductor
The first half of the
program contains Haydn’s Symphony 94 (which contains that famous "Papa Haydn" theme that the baritone also sings in the Seasons.) The intermission feature
includes:
- 59 minutes: English Interview about the Seasons with Andrew Foster-Williams and Joachim Bäckström (sadly, DR does not participate)
- 1 hour, 10 minutes: DR singing a (Handel?) aria
Everyone is in great voice, and the chorus sounds particularly spring-like, too!
