One of the gems of the classical period, a work with deep Christian and classical valences, The Savior’s Seven Last Words from the Cross by J. Haydn had its orchestral premiere in Cadiz, on Good Friday of 1787. Due to the success enjoyed by this work, the composer made an arrangement for quartet.

The seven sections related to the Savior’s last sayings, intended for a reciter, will be uttered by the priest Ioan Manea.
