The Creation, H.XXI:2.

Joseph Haydn - Creation, H.XXI:2. at the U Salvátora Church in Prague, 13 November 2022

Haydn's magnificent oratorio, based on Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. The Creation reflects Haydn's fascination and admiration for the oratorio works of G. F. Handel, especially in the frequent use of polyphony and the baroque monumentality of the choral movements.
