About
Experience two grand classics, alive with all the excitement and verve of their very first performances. Thrill to one of Haydn’s masterful ‘London’ symphonies that wowed England’s capital – the smash hit ‘Military’, so-called for intense depictions of the clash of arms and ferocious roar of war. In the epic Nelson Mass Handel and Haydn Society's magnificent chorus and soloists join the orchestra in this homage to the heroic admiral who helped to vanquish Napoleon.

December 2020
Christophers and the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston present a neatly turned-out Military Symphony, closer to the urbanity of Colin Davis than the rawer edges of Eugen Jochum or, on original instruments, the speedier Marc Minkowski. It’s a performance that impresses rather than exhilarates – until, that is, the Turkish percussion make their entrance in the slow movement...It’s a terrific sound that gives most other Military Symphonies a run for their money.
