Joseph Haydn: The Creation

With its roof-raising choruses and bubbling melodies Haydn's The Creation is one of the most life-affirming and generous two hours of music you can hear.

Joseph Haydn once said that when he thought of God he could write only cheerful music. So imagine the exuberance, freshness and pure joy he brings to the story of the Creation. With its roof-raising choruses, bubbling melodies and glowing colours, The Creation is one of the most life-affirming and generous two hours of music – even the earthworm gets a look in! Sir Roger Norrington brings all his experience to this happiest of great choral masterpieces: add an all-star team of soloists, and this is an evening to make you feel glad to be alive.
