favorite part of the creation!
Lift up your hearts. Mine was. Thank you
for posting this!
So wunderbar!
Enrapturing! This oratorio shows a (late) Mozart quality, I'd say! - Not surprisingly, considering this work was composed in the final years of Haydn when late classicism had evolved into early romanticism.
ahh... not an easy choir entering with these triplets :-)
very nice... thanks!
so wonderbar !!!!
She enters with the words "Und du" at 4:14. You can barely hear the "Un" in "Und", then her very prominent "d" in "Und" that she enunciates before her "du". She is not late.

Sinnce it is Earth's Day, I thought it would be right to post this excerpt from « Die Schöpfung» from Haydn. Have a nice Earth's Day!
Thanks for appreciating the smaller size of the choir and the orchestra typical of the Classical period. According to the conductor Raymond Fu, this was closer to the way the work was performed in those days, although we don't know if it's customary to have a dedicated conductor to direct the music (as opposed to the harpsichordist or the principal violinist) by the late Classical period. Does anybody know?

It's a really good performance... but we know that the orchestra of the first performance was MUCH bigger. About 200 musicians were involved. And we also know that Haydn wanted so much musicians.
English translation: The soprano is too dominant here! She drowns even the sound of her colleague! - The choir can barely be heard! Pity! The vibrato could have been more discreet!
Response: This seems to be the case for the duet, although the choir is supposed to be hushing in the background. From 3'00" on, the duet takes a new twist with the choir coming in ever stronger. The choir starts building up the climax from 7'20" on with a most emphatic, blissful, and invigorating finish.
Die Sopranistin singt wunderschön. In der Intensität und Hingabe, Gefühle für die Musik. Leider können die andern ihrer Professionalität nicht ganz folgen. Drum scheint sie dominant zu sein.
Schade! - Das Vibrato der Sopranistin ist so stark, dass sie schon unrein klingt! -
Hier ist die Sopranistin viel zu dominant! Sie übertönt sogar in der Lautstärke ihren Kollegen! - Der Chor ist kaum zu hören! Schade! Das Vibrato dürfte dezenter sein!
