On the 9 & 10 of March, the Academy of Ancient Music will give a programme featuring some of Haydn’s most dramatic music, in Cambridge and London. They say

When Haydn arrived in London in 1791, he triggered a full-scale Georgian media frenzy and responded with some of his most imaginative music. AAM, Laurence Cummings and Ann Hallenberg explore the full range of one of music’s first global superstars in a concert of thrilling emotional extremes, including two extraordinary mini-operas: Arianna a Naxos and the Scena di Berenice, and the rarely heard Sinfonia Concertante in B-flat major. Musicologist Richard Jones gives a pre-concert talk at 6.30pm about Haydn’s time in London.
