4:00 Conductor and soloists arrive on on stage 4:40 Music begins Google translation of notes in description: Haydn • The Creation French version from 1800 This is Haydn’s masterpiece. The creation of the universe is told to us according to the Book of Genesis by three angels from the initial Chaos to the creation of Man. In residence this season at the Festival, Julien Chauvin and his ensemble the Concert de la Loge have brought together, alongside the famous Namur Choir, three formidable singers of the new generation for this oratorio created in Vienna in 1799, in German. It was Haydn himself who wanted a reworking of the work in French, driven by the idea that listeners had to be able to follow the unfolding of the biblical story during its presentation in France. A version of the work that the Festival had not yet presented.
