‘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 this critically-acclaimed recording of it with a compelling team of soloists, including the radiant Irmgard Seefried.

JOSEPH HAYDN
Die Schöpfung (The Creation)

Irmgard Seefried, soprano
Richard Holm, tenor
Kim Borg, bass
Chor der St. Hedwigs-Kathedrale, Berlin
Berliner Philharmoniker
Igor Markevitch


‘a fine and vivid performance under Markevitch and with Seefried, Holm and Borg as excellent soloists’ Gramophone, December 1956

‘an especially successful issue … the choir of St. Hedwig’s Cathedral in Berlin sing with great beauty of tone and remarkable sensibility. Kim Borg makes a magisterial Raphael (as well as a tender Adam) … The recording is first class and the whole performance captures the wonderful glow of happiness that permeates the music.’ Gramophone, August 1956
