Post Description

Thomas Hengelbrock here conducts a period performance of Haydn's great oratorio, which, with sharply focused sound and clipped rhythms, is consistently refreshing, even if the result is at times severe rather than joyful.

The clarity of detail is revealing, exploiting the widest dynamic range, so that the epic quality of Haydn's vision of Creation as filtered from Milton by Baron von Swieten takes priority. Hengelbrock adopts fast speeds, with freshness intensified by the excellent singing of a team of bright-toned young soloists with exceptionally clear diction.
