F.J. Haydn - Oratorios: Die Schopfung / Die Jahreszeiten (CD)

Abounding in virtuosic arias and colorful, mood-shifting orchestrations, Haydn's oratorios are justifiably revered to this day. Handel's legendary oratorios provided much inspiration for the creation of these dramatic pieces for choir, orchestra and soloists. As you hear the three epic oratorios Die Schopfung (The Creation); Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons), and Il Ritorno Di Tobia, you'll be treated to masterful performances by VokalEnsemble Koln, Capella Augustina, Andreas Spering, GewandhausKammerchor, Leipziger Kammerorchester and Morten Schuldt-Jensen!
