Résumé

Joseph Haydn undertook the composition of The Creation starting at the age of 65, and it took him a year and a half to complete the work. A deeply religious man, he later said, «Never had I been so devout as when I was composing The Creation. Everyday I fell to my knees and prayed to God to give me strength for my work». The concert provides unique opportunity to experience first-hand the beauty of the church Grote Kerk, where the acoustics are said to make music sound magical. DVD extras: A 30-minutes documentary including rehearsal sessions with commentary by John Nelson, Audio excerpts from Soli Deo Gloria commissioned works.
