Conductor: Gergely Dubóczky
Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross (Die sieben letztenWorte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze) was originally performed together with homilies given by the Bishop of Cadiz for each of the seven words as part of the Easter liturgy. In 2014 following an idea by Gergely Dubóczky and conducted by him, the Budapest Sound Collective gave the first performance of Haydn’s Seven Last Words with texts written by Péter Esterházy for insertion in place of the seven homilies. This powerful prose was added to Haydn’s music by the voices of two actors, a man and a woman.
