Radio 3 in Concert: Daniel Hyde conducts Haydn and Mozart

Ian Skelly presents a live Easter concert from King's College, Cambridge. Director of Music Daniel Hyde conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra in Haydn's Symphony 26, known as Lamentatione and written for Easter week 1768, one of his earliest minor key symphonies. In January 1783 Mozart wrote to his father saying he had promised to complete a setting of the Mass. It was performed later that year in Salzburg with his new wife Constanze as one of the soprano soloists, but in fact remains unfinished, suggesting that Mozart perhaps borrowed bits from existing works for that performance.
