English Summary:

It is ironic that the original orchestral version of the Seven Last Words – one of Haydn’s greatest and, in his lifetime, most popular works – should have been almost completely eclipsed by the composer’s makeshift string quartet arrangement. Whatever the gains in intimacy, the quartet version inevitably mutes the grandeur, colour and mystic awe of the original; its sheer physical power, too, above all in the final Earthquake, which tends to emerge as merely frantic when played by a quartet.

 

Tracklist:

1. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: Intro

2. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: No.1: Father, Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do

3. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: No.2: Verily, I Say Unto Thee: Today Shalt Thou Be With Me In Paradise
 
4. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: No.3: Woman, Behold Thy Son, And Thou, Behold Thy Mother!
 
5. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: No.4: My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?
 
6. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: No.5: Jesus Saith: Alas, I Thirst!
 
7. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: No.6: It Is Finished
 
8. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: No.7: Father, Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit
 
9. Die Sieben Letzten Worte: II Terremoto (The Earthquake): He Has Departed
