Joseph Haydn's "The Creation" impressively portrays the biblical story of creation. The predominantly beautiful aspects highlighted in this 1798 oratorio feel almost utopian today, amidst crises and environmental disasters. Haydn's music, full of wit and virtuosity, uplifts and reminds us of our existence. Based on an English libretto inspired by Milton's "Paradise Lost", it also has a German version by Gottfried van Swieten.
