The Creation by Haydn, De (2024/2024), Director musical Thomas Hengelbrock, Musiikkitalo, Helsinki, Finland

Joseph Haydn begins the creation of the universe by describing the primordial chaos. The universe is created in an hour and a half accompanied by the heavenly arias of the archangels. On the first day in paradise, Adam and Eve sing a love duet to the rhythm of a folk dance. Haydn's Creation has been an audience favourite since its premiere and is still one of the most performed oratorios.
