CD: Haydn Creation / Tennstedt
JOSEPH HAYDN 1732-1809
The Creation

Haydn composed this supreme choral masterpiece late in his career. The libretto, translated from English and sung in German, is based on the biblical story and on Milton's Paradise Lost. In ambition and scale The Creation was without precedent in Haydn's output and the thrill of the first light, the gentle humour of the musical representation of the animals, the brilliance of the choruses and the sheer exuberance of Haydn's concept are vividly brought to life in this recording by Klaus Tennstedt with three stunning soloists, Lucia Popp, Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Benjamin Luxon, and the London Philharmonic Choir.
