"... excellent singing on both the individual and choral level ... the chorus, brilliantly prepared and wielding phenomenally precise diction, outdid even its usual high standards ... the orchestra’s playing was terrific."
- The Boston Globe
The Handel and Haydn Society of Boston presents this live performance of Haydn's oratorio The Creation, considered by many to be the composer's greatest work and the apex of his creative powers. Recorded in May 2015, Harry Christophers conducts the period instrument orchestra and chorus on this double album, accompanied by an international cast of soloists including soprano Sarah Tynan, tenor Jeremy Ovenden and bass-baritone Matthew Brook.
