Synopsis/Cast/Company

Information for Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment - Creation at Southbank Centre, West End (Concert). The OAE is much more than one of the world's pre-eminent period instrument ensembles. It works regularly with conductors who specialise in both early music and the modern repertoire, and has explored the work of composers from Bach to Mahler, Handel to Borodin. Haydn's vibrant oratorio The Creation, with Adam Fischer and an all-star cast of soloists. Haydn's oratorio The Creation is not only one of the composer's most popular pieces, but is also one of the most vividly descriptive pieces of classical music there is. Each aspect of the story is brilliantly brought to life by Haydn's expressive music - you can really hear the black emptiness before the First Day, the lion leaping and experience the heat of the sun as it rises - and the added contrast and texture of period instruments only adds to the effect. Royal Festival Hall

Performers Elizabeth Watts (soprano), Andrew Kennedy (tenor), Andrew Foster-Williams (bass). Conductor Adam Fischer. Company Schola Cantorum of Oxford.
