About

The oratorio The Creation is one of the highlights among the later works of Joseph Haydn. The work enjoyed its premiere performance in 1798 and is considered to be the great composer‘s most successful work - and a shining example of classical oratorios.

This recording of The Creation was made in 1975. The main roles are performed by award-winning American soprano Helen Donath, German tenor Adalbert Kraus and Swiss bass-baritone Kurt Widmer. The singers are accompanied by contralto Vera Scherr, the Süddeutscher Madrigalchor and the Festivalorchester Ludwigsburg, conducted by Wolfgang Gönnenwein who was also the festival‘s longstanding artistic director (between 1972 and 2004).
