“The Victorious Admiral”


Under the direction of Bart Van Reyn, the Belgian ensemble Le Concert d’Anvers has become one of the leading original sound orchestras. Together with the Octopus Chamber Choir, they pay tribute to the church music composer Haydn with a particularly powerful mass. It is the mass composed in 1798 and referred to by Haydn as “Missa in angustiis,” which later became known as the “Nelson Mass.” The namesake was Admiral Nelson, who had defeated the French in a naval battle. However, Haydn only learned of this event after completing the work. When Admiral Nelson visited Prince Esterházy in Eisenstadt in 1800, Haydn conducted this intimate yet dramatically combative mass in his honor. The program begins with the “Salve Regina,” a work that Haydn wrote in 1771 after a serious illness that he overcame.
