Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus

From Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Minasi plays Mozart’s Requiem and Haydn’s ‘Mass In Time of War’.

Vocal soloists and choral forces join the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and conductor Riccardo Minasi for two compelling classical works.
As Haydn composed a mass for his royal patrons, Austria prepared to defend itself against Napoleon’s military advances. The bombardment seeped into Haydn’s music and the work’s title, ‘Mass in Time of War’. Following Haydn’s death, it was the Requiem by his late friend Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart that was chosen to be played at the state memorial.
Recorded at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh on 30 April 2026
