Haydn: Die Schopfung (The Creation)

This key recording of Haydn's "Creation" features the radiant voice of Irmgard Seefried in the impressive line-up of soloists. Die Schöpfung (The Creation) is one of the great choral masterpieces that Haydn composed after finishing his 104th symphony in 1795. It is a work championed by Igor Markevitch who made a critically-acclaimed recording of it with a compelling team of soloists, including the radiant Irmgard Seefried. Accompanied by tenor Richard Holm, (Uriel), Kim Borg, bass (Raphael, Adam) and the Chor der St. Hedwigs-Kathedrale, Berlin, the Berliner Philharmoniker thrive under Igor Markevitch's baton.
