Haydn - Creation - Sir Colin Davis - LSO 

Having been inspired by Handel's oratorios whilst in London, Haydn set Die Schöfung to a text originally intended for his predecessor. With bright orchestration and vivid imagery, Haydn's account of the world's creation confirmed that he too had mastered the art of musical dramatics, and composed a work that is celebrated as one of the masterpieces of the classical era.
