Haydn's "Creation" on EWTN

Showing/playing right now. Beautiful piece, which I’m familiar with and I’m sure many here are, also.

And really inspiring that the bass solo vocalist is “disabled” (shortened arms). What beauty he has made out of his talent.

God be praised.

Thanks, Elizabeth. Thomas Quasthoff is the singer you are referring to: a wonderful one. A great work of Haydn’s, to be sure.

Yes, I noticed his name as the bass-baritone at the end. I think this must have been a re-airing, luckily fo rme, of a 2009 concert. (Josef Haydn died in 1809; this was his 200th anniversary performance, as you may have noticed. Amazing hall. Amazing group of musicians.

And one amazing composer, giving glory to God in words and form. Art praises God, mirroring His creation, and this case, literally HIs “Creation.” Die Schöpfung!
