Basingstoke Choral Society and London Mozart Players
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, completed in 1824, is one of the best known works of the Western classical repertoire and was one of the first examples of a choral symphony. Haydn's Mass was written in 1798 and originally called Missa in Angustiis or Mass for Troubled Times, a reference to the threat of war posed by Napoleon. It was a happy coincidence that at its premi?re news broke of the French defeat at the Battle of the Nile. From that moment the work was nicknamed the ?Nelson Mass'.
