Dorchester Abbey

Two sublime choral works from 1780 (Laudate Dominum) and 1791 (Ave Verum), with Ch’io mi scordi di te from 1786, feature our wonderful soprano soloist Hannah Davey. Simon Egerton-Smith, our artist-in-residence, has chosen the ‘Jeunehomme’ concerto, no known to refer to Victoire Jenamy, the pianist who inspired the work. We finish with Symphony 29 from 1774, a high point in his early symphonic writing.
