Lovely trio..bravo to an excellent soprano, JOHANETTE ZOMER, cool tenor, MARCEL BEEKMAN, and thunderlike-voiced baritone ANDRE MORSCH..Good job, Maestro, KLAAS STOK. .. The vocals and musicians are all perfect...CONGRATULATIONS....Daniel from Canada
To me this is simply the best rendition of The Creation. The soloists are outstanding. Even the choir and orchestra are outstanding. Doesn't get any better than this.
O, I just love this performance. Everyone enjoys every moment, just as I think Haydn intended. In fact, I can already see him, smiling with the musicians, tapping his foot along, nodding his head and, in the end, jumping up and down with joy and applause.
I have known and loved this oratorio in both languages for over 60 years, but this is the best performance, live or recorded, I have ever heard. Many thanks for posting.
I stayed glued from beginning to end listening and watching every bit of this masterpiece of a performance ❗❗❗ Awe-stricken me, roundly perfect delivery from every single performer. I celebrate this oratorio. Standing ovation for real 👏👏👏👏👏👏
…Dieses absolute Meisterwerk begleitet mich seit den Tagen, als mich unser Vater mit in die Generalprobe seines Konzertchores nahm. Da saß ich mit Haydn und seiner Kunst, ziemlich allein im riesigen Konzertsaal und war fasziniert. Übersetzen mußte man den großen Meister nie. Auch meinen Kindern war er einer der ersten musikalischen Begleiter. Was immer sie aus ihren Leben machen, die (musikalische) Grundlage war da.
Das Orchester ist einfach wunderschön. Im Präludium haben sie Chaos mit voller Bedeutung und echtem Gefühl perfekt gespielt. Und beim Chorantritt ("Licht") habe ich echte Gänsehaut und zwar Kopforgasmus gekriegt! Vielen Dank, Deutsche Welle! Dieser Schöpfung-Aufnahme bringt Licht und Hoffnung während dieser dunklen Kriegszeit.
@@eckhardsteinseifer7009 Ariadne lebt auf dieser Erde wo Kriege immer nahebei zu finden sind auch wenn wir es nicht wahrhaben wollen. Manchmal denke ich Gott hätte am späten Morgen des 6. Tages schluß machen sollen, doch dann gäbe es nicht Haydn und dieses Meisterstück!
This rendition is a surprise! Probably the best rendition akin with the old interpretation by Bernstein (with modern instruments obviously). The director has studied attentively the tempos ( not too fast as is common today) showing a great respect to the genius of Papà Haydn (God bless him!)
It should be forbidden, By Law, not to perform Haydn (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Boccherini and other Baroque/Rococo composers) on period instruments. This rendering proves just this. It bring such joy and warm sound to the performance and cannot not leave you speechless. DW, you are one of the rare gems in what is otherwise a simple and superficial UA-cam content world. We owe you deep gratitude.
Completely disagree. The fact is if Haydn etc had the use of “modern” instruments he would of course have used them and be totally thrilled by their superior sound.
@@TheVaughan5 well, my comment was ironic (since it is impossible to realise) but I really cannot stand certain musical compositions being performed on modern instruments. Say, Bach's "Well Tempered Clavier", Opera continuo on modern piano in (stead of a time-accurate Cembalo), are just examples on the top of my mind. The instruments have totally different sound, ranges and behaviors, and it is just that the composers heard in their heads, which is what I enjoy experiencing. You can perform The Toccata and Fugue on a piano, but it belongs to the Organ ☝🏼 Cheers, my brother in music 🎶
@@mdrakic I take your point about Bach (not one of my favourites) and certainly the continuo in opera on piano is not suitable. The sound in the performance seems to me to be a mix of modern and period, would you agree?
I made a cassette copy of The Creation from the library’s vinyl copy when I was a young lad. I’ve been looking for a recording to match it all my adult life and this one is it.
Magnifico Oratorio "Die schoepfung" di Haydn. Grandioso , sembra di ascoltare il Big Bang e la voce di Dio. Grande esecuzione : applausi ai Cantanti Solisti, al Maestro Direttore d'orchestra e a tutti i componenti dell'' Orchestra stessa. Veramente un grande spettacolo .

A premiere means a first performance, in the case of Haydn’s The Creation, its public premiere was on 19 March 1799, though there had been some earlier private performances. Regardless of any subsequent performances, propagating misinformation about The Creation being ‘….premiered at the Vienna Congress of 1815’ is unhelpful.
Thanks for clarifying the date of “The Creation”premiere. I confused its premiere with Beethoven’s Seventh and Eighth Symphonies and Wellington’s Victory op. 91, which, as noted by the British Library, premiered during the Vienna Congress of 1814 and 1815.
@@aaronjclarke1973 No problem, but you original comment sent me looking through sources to find if The Creation had been performed in 1815 which was not improbable as it was being widely performed. The Beethoven works make far more sense of course, even if Beethoven’s switch of sides from Napoleon to Wellington is not often discussed as much a it might be; it is also a debate that I believe in some small part explains the difficult relationship between Haydn (loyalty to Emperor, and latterly to England 1791-95) and Beethoven (belief in the initial ideals of the French Revolution until Napoleon’s faux pas). It is an area I have never seen discussed in detail, but certainly in the 1790’s, Haydn and Beethoven were on opposite sides of *the* political question of the age, and whilst Haydn’s judgement was reinforced by Nelson and the British entourage visiting him in 1800 at Eisenstadt (the ‘Nelson Mass’ story), Beethoven was still at the point of thinking about dedicating his later ‘Eroica’ symphony (1803) to Napoleon (deleted 1804). Is there any wonder their relationship was so difficult ?

Realmente muito bonito, né, Mancambira? Sim, lindo. E você dizia não gostar de Haidn! É, mas não posso negar que este oratório é mesmo uma maravilha. Vai para o Noite em Paris?
This is such a superb performace. Chorus, orchestral playing both wonderful; baritone (in particular) and tenor sing beautifully. But, it is sad that the soprano resorts to crooning as a substitute for legato singing. Her singing exhibits that strange habit, employed by so many contemporary singers, of approching just below the pitch, then slurring up to the note. That's not an example of bel canto, which must be employed in this music.
No saben cómo extrañamos a los grandes compositores, viva Haydn
Just to be able to listen to this for free it's an incredable achievement in my life. Thanks a lot.
