Die Schöpfung, The Creation Import. 70. Thomas Hengelbrock.

Even as a historically informed performance of Franz Joseph Haydn's Die Schöpfung, this rendition by Thomas Hengelbrock and the oir and Ensemble is not overly stylized, and it is sometimes hard to tell how it differs much from a modern, mainstream version. The strings are played with minimal vibrato and the winds have some of the distinctive sound of period instruments, but there's really no exaggeration of effects to make a didactic point, nor any mannerism in the playing that would give it away as a period interpretation. Listeners who want an authentic re-creation of this oratorio that is intelligently interpreted and performed by personable singers will appreciate this recording.

Haydn: Die Schöpfung (The Creation). Hengelbrock and his ensemble are in perfect harmony, and follow a clear musical idea. In the opening part, their playing is downright extroverted, before returning to a finer tone. The creation of the world as a cinematic experience, more arthouse than blockbuster! semble, or.

Dorothee Mields has sung and played in many opera and theatre productions under important directors, such as Euridice in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo with the Viennese Festival Weeks and co-operated with conductors such as Thomas Hengelbrock, Philippe Herreweghe and Gustav Leonhardt.
