Description

Joseph Haydn's "The Creation" is, alongside Handel's Messiah, one of the few works of its genre to have enjoyed unbroken popularity with audiences and choirs from the very beginning. In this timeless classic from 1798, Haydn created a musical world with such a variety of sonic means of expression that one cannot escape its brilliance, especially when sound magicians like Hans-Christoph Rademann and the Gaechinger Cantorey are at work.
