Description
As one of the most influential figures in Classical music, Haydn is remembered as the father of both the string quartet and the symphony — but for his masterpiece The Creation, he turned to oratorio, combining orchestra, chorus, and soloists to illustrate a stunning musical depiction of the Book of Genesis. Soprano Aubry Ballarò, tenor Nick Nestorak, and baritone Joel Balzun sing as the archangels Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael, and later embody Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Fans of Handel’s Messiah will not want to miss the glorious singing of the Columbus Symphony Chorus and the orchestra’s tone painting of the chaos of the universe, bringing of light, and creation of heaven, earth, animals, and man.
