LPH 018

After his years in London and the discovery of Handels Messiah, which had profoundly moved him, Joseph Haydn embarked on writing a large-scale religious work. For this very devout composer, this veritable act of faith would torment him for two years and from it would come an oratorio of penetrating intensity. • After enjoying immediate success in Vienna, Die Schöpfung (The Creation) conquered the whole of Europe in less than a year. With this work, a few months after the release of Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons), Philippe Herreweghe continues the exploration of Haydns vocal works, accompanied by soloists Christina Landshamer, Maximilian Schmitt and Rudolf Rosen. • Thanks to the complicity of two of his favourite ensembles the Collegium Vocale Gent and the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and the extraordinary palette of colours and timbres that he succeeds in inspiring once again, he transports us with refinement and intelligence into the Viennese masters inner universe. • The Seasons / Die Jahreszeiten / The Seasons / Les Saisons •
