Provenance

Where it came from

This 1996 release by the Lyrica label captures a live recording of Joseph Haydn's oratorio Die Schöpfung, featuring the Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of Igor Markevitch. Originally composed by Haydn between 1796 and 1798, the work represents the pinnacle of the Classical oratorio tradition, utilizing a libretto based on Genesis and Milton's Paradise Lost to depict the creation of the world with profound musical imagery.

The performance features a notable cast including soprano Irmgard Seefried and bass Kim Borg, recorded in a mid-century context that emphasizes Markevitch's reputation for structural clarity and rhythmic precision. As a staple of the late 20th-century classical reissue market, this disc was curated for listeners seeking a bridge between the grand symphonic tradition of the Berliner Philharmoniker and the dramatic vocal requirements of Haydn's expansive, tonally vivid score.
