About

Following Mahler's Ninth and Bruckner's Fifth, this live recording of Joseph Haydn's "The Creation" is already the third CD recording to feature the masterly Bernard Haitink at the helm of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Haitink has been a guest conductor of the orchestra for over 50 years now. Haydn's oratorio "The Creation", first performed in 1798, instantly became an established part of the repertoire and the greatest success the composer had ever experienced. Today, it still ranks as an important test for any ensemble of soloists, choir and orchestra. The Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and its Choir joined forces for this recording, together with a team of renowned soloists. The solo parts of the three archangels are sung by renowned soprano Camilla Tilling, Mark Padmore, who can also be heard in the BR-KLASSIK recording of Britten's "War Requiem", and bass-baritone Hanno Müller-Brachmann who, as a representative of the younger generation, is enjoying a remarkable operatic, lieder and concert career.

Reviews

November 2014

Haitink is predictably superb in movements that encapsulate the 18th-century notion of 'the sublime'...Rarely, too, has the portrayal of the first dawn in Paradise sounded so radiant...With eager, firm-toned singing from the professional choir, the neo-Handelian fugal choruses unfold with a wide dynamic range and a powerful sense of inevitability...This new recording has much to offer

December 2014

The Bavarian chorus does a very good job, with abundant tone and helped, as are the soloists and orchestra, by a commendably clear recording...[Tilling] has the flexibility of voice for her arias...Padmore sings admirably, his lyric tones being suitable for the music...Müller-Brachmann is vocally assured, his tone succulent and warm.

8th December 2014

It manages to combine the virtues of old and new performance traditions and in capturing the essence of Haydn’s wonderfully humane creation. I have no hesitation in saying that this is by some way the most satisfying recorded performance of the work I have heard.

14th December 2014

[Haitink] approaches this great choral masterpiece with wit, unhurried grandeur, riveting orchestral detail and forward momentum...Choir, orchestra and soloists are on sparkling form in this live recording – an invigorating reminder, if any were needed, of Haydn’s genius.

23rd September 2014

Right from the “Representation of Chaos” at the oratorio’s start, you know that Haitink has his finger on the music’s dramatic pulse. The orchestra paints incisive pictures, punctuating Haydn’s unearthly wandering harmonies with sharp, seismic shocks...This is a great interpretation of a choral classic.
