HAYDN THE CREATION (in English)

First there was Chaos…swirling, random sounds, then suddenly, in one of the most astonishing musical explosions, there was Light! And life began. Haydn’s magnificent oratorio, the Creation has it all: Archangels singing heroic recitatives and operatic arias, monumental choruses and 4-part fugues (The Heavens are Telling) and even a love duet between Adam and Eve. Haydn poured his symphonic genius, his operatic mastery, his humor, and his joyful spirit into this masterpiece.
