Haydn’s Seven Last Words

Last Easter, The Rasumovsky, for the first time in its long history, performed Haydn’s Seven Last Words from the Cross op.51. A generous local benefactor in Uley, Gloucestershire enabled this performance as part of the St Giles’ Church Uley, Good Friday service. Beautiful meditations by the Rev. Diana Crook were read between each movement. This proved to be an extremely moving performance and one which the quartet will hope to repeat on future occasions.
