HAYDN, J.: Schöpfung (Die) (The Creation)
Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra, Bolton
OC609

Each Friday we select a track from a Naxos Music Group album released twenty years ago to provide the accompaniment for five minutes of your downtime.

This week’s pick from the Oehms Classics label has been chosen to complement the joy of the Christmas season, and what better way than with Haydn’s ebullient spirit that abounds in his masterpiece oratorio, The Creation. We play out our 2025 series with Die Himmel erzahlen die Ehre Gottes (The heavens are telling the glory of God) performed by the Salzburg Bach Choir and soloists, accompanied by the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra under conductor Ivor Bolton.
