The seven last words of Jesus on the cross are an essential core of Christian faith. One of the best-knownmusical adaptations is that of Joseph Haydn, originally composed as seven orchestral interludes for a recitation of the biblical text. Soon afterwards Haydn approved the quartet version – it is no easy task for only four strings to explore its religious depths. The Scaramouche Quartet has achieved this with bravura on its debut SACD.
