Description :
Late in his career, Haydn, inspired by the oratorios of Handel, turned to composing oratorios himself, launching what would become a final brilliant and successful phrase of his extraordinarily rich and productive musical life. The Creation is the most majestic achievement of that phrase, a choral masterwork of seamless perfection. This edition in full score is reprinted from the authoritative edition published by C. F. Peters of Leipzig, complete with the original German and English texts.
