ORATORIO POUR SOPRANO, TENOR, BASSE CHOEUR SATB ET PIANO
AUTEUR: JOSEPH HAYDN 1732-1809
STYLE: Classique
COMMENTAIRE: Following sensationally acclaimed premiere performances in Vienna, The Creation was published in several languages and by various publishing houses, including Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig.
We now know that a continuo instrument was used for Haydn's oratorio as premiered in Vienna. The supplementary continuo part enables an historically accurate reproduction for the first time: the harpsichord (and, increasingly, the pianoforte) fulfilled the important continuo function in the orchestras of the time.
