Composer Biography
Haydn credited the Italian composer Nicola Porpora, whom he met through librettist Metastasio, with teaching him the true fundamentals of composition.
Performer Biography
REBEL is arguably the most aired American Baroque ensemble on US radio and was the only period-instrument ensemble to receive an artist residency at National Public Radio in 1999.
Composer Biography
Joseph Haydn's earliest musical experiences were as a choirboy, and both his first and last compositions were Mass settings.
Critical Reception
Some of Haydn's contemporaries criticized his late Masses for being 'too cheerful to be sacred' or having an 'elegant and less ecclesiastical style.'
Composer's Artistic Vision
Haydn believed that his compositional process and artistic inspiration were linked to spirituality; he would pray with his rosary when composing was difficult.
Composer Biography
As a choirboy, Haydn received a comprehensive musical education, learning keyboard, violin, composition, and singing at St. Stephen's in Vienna.
Performer Biography
REBEL, the Baroque orchestra on this recording, was formed in 1991 and won the Van Wassenaer Competition in Holland the same year.
