Joseph Haydn: Il Ritorno Di Tobia

Beskrivning

Written 25 years prior to Haydn's late great oratorios, his first oratorio, telling the Biblical story of young Tobias who is able to cure his blind father with heavenly help, is in the tradition of the Neapolitan oratorio and already displays signs of Haydn's personal style: it is one of the most significant sacred works that he had written up to that time. This applies both to the virtuoso arias as well as to the expressive choruses. This work was long-neglected, but this Urtext Study Edition reflects its renewed popularity.
