Haydn: Die Schopfung (Sung in German)

The three-time Grammy-nominated ensemble, widely regarded as ‘one of the world’s premier period instruments bands’ (Fanfare), will mark the beginning of its relationship with Linn with a recording of Haydn’s The Creation. Soloists Amanda Forsythe, Keith Jameson and Kevin Deas will join the ensemble and conductor Martin Pearlman for the performance of Haydn’s crowning achievement. The Creation remains one of the greatest works of choral repertoire and has been astonishing audiences since its premiere in 1798. The ensemble’s previous performances of The Creation have received rave reviews, with the Boston Globe stating: ‘Boston Baroque performed [Haydn’s Creation] with vibrant color and a fleet momentum…and made it a vivid, effervescent occasion.’ Founded in 1973 by Martin Pearlman, Boston Baroque is already familiar to an international audience with its critically acclaimed catalogue of recordings. Boston Baroque's recordings—of which Fanfare magazine wrote ‘each one is an incomparable gem’— are heard by millions on classical radio stations in North America and Europe. Boston Baroque's many career milestones include the American premiere of Rameau's Zoroastre; a Mozart opera series including Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, and the American period-instrument premieres of Mozart's Don Giovanni and The Magic Flute; and a revelatory exploration of the Beethoven symphonies on period instruments.
