Recorded on 10th November at Sadler's Wells Theatre, London

Presented by Christopher Cook

Haydn: The Creation

成人快手 Singers
Sarah Tynan, soprano
James Gilchrist, tenor
Neil Davies, bass
Rambert Orchestra
Paul Hoskins, conductor

This epic production is one of the largest in the history of Rambert: a dance about the creation of Earth.
Joseph Haydn's The Creation is his masterpiece, with its lyrical arias and monumental choruses showing off one of the greatest classical composers at the peak of his powers. Rambert's new staging marries dance with Pablo Bronstein's spectacular set to artfully complement Haydn's score.
This ambitious interpretation sees over 50 dancers join the 70 musicians for a performance on a truly grand scale, with Mark Baldwin's choreography revelling in the ambition, emotional resonance and subtle humour of a work for all the ages.
The soloists are Sarah Tynan (soprano), James Gilchrist (tenor) and Neil Davies (bass), and the Rambert Orchestra and 成人快手 Singers are conducted by Rambert Music Director Paul Hoskins.
