The concert features a sacred masterpiece by Haydn composed in 1787, in the author's version for strings alone. Commissioned for the Good Friday rites in Cadiz, Spain, this particular sacred composition accompanies the seven sentences of Christ on the cross, as spiritual reflections in music; the composer succeeds in translating the intense meditation of the Passion, with an expressive language designed to encourage contemplation.
