Haydn: Die Schöpfung (The Creation), Singt dem Herren alle Stimmen! (Sir Colin Davis, LSO)

[@oldschoolcaddilac]

This oratorio is amazing when you learn the music and hear what's all going on. I didn't think much of Haydn before I was in the chorus for a performance my university put on, but when we did it and that last "Amen" rang out so triumphantly it was a brilliant experience.

Sir Colin Davis seems like he's conducting with incredible ease

[@gradwhan]

2:43-end is definitely one of the greatest moments of classical music

[@helmutgehrmann464]

Richtig!

[@drekfletch]

I've also sung: "Sing to God! Sing all ye voices! Thank Him. Thank Him wonders of creation. Let us praise His Name with honor. Sing with festival rejoicings." "The Lord is great! He reigns forever more. Amen." There are a number of translations. The most popular is a rather stilted literal translation of the German, which was translated from English in the first place. The second most popular, seems in places like the translator was trying to be different for difference's sake.

Marvelous

There's a english text too, but it sounds in german much better: "Singt dem Herren alle Stimmen! Dankt ihm, dankt ihm alle seine Werke! Lasst zu Ehren seines Namens Lob in Wettgesang erschallen!" "Des Herren Ruhm, er bleibt in Ewigkeit. Amen." Would be: "Sing the Lord, ye voices all! Utter, utter thanks, ye all his works! Celebrate his pow'r and glory! Let his name re-sound on high!" "The Lord is great;his praise shall last for aye. Amen." And that's all of the text. The last part is repeating

I find it particularly amusing that in London, of all places, they would be singing this work in German. Haydn, while visiting England, and witnessing the love and admiration the people had for the music of Handel, very much hoped that he might be able to someday earn that kind of devotion for a work of his. He purposefully published “The Creation” simultaneously in both English and German, so that it could be sung in English when performed for English speaking audiences. (cont)

Haynd, em minha opinião, é simplesmente perfeito na construção desse oratório, equiparando-se somente ao Messias (Haendel) e Elias (Mendelsshon). Além disso o Coro final é impressionante. Perfeita interpretação!

I love the way the London symphony chorus actually sings this particular piece I have a question how many members in the London symphony LSC London symphony chorus?

Napoleon's coronation.

[@helmutgehrmann464]

no

[@71259mark]

@AdventuresofMon The only thing I find amusing at 2:31-2:34 is the fact that the soprano, tenor, and bass soloists are singing, but due to the proximity of the microphones, you can hardly hear the bass at all. Too bad.

This 16X9 image seems to have been processed as an anamorphic image. You would think the LSO would have uploaded this properly. Other than that, a terrific performance.

[@helmutgehrmann464]

grandios

[@71259mark]

Many (including previous posters here) choose to dismiss the English version because of the seeming “oddness” of some passages, and attribute this oddness to the translation. I contend it to be, instead, more a product of the time it was written, rather than the quality of the translation. There are no shortage 19th century works that we sing with texts equally odd by today’s standards that we accept unquestioningly, because they were initially written in English only. (cont)

[@Fluecking]

great performance, but I like it more slowly

[@kurymayen]

totalmnete de acuerdo con este comentario,el oratorio es ´solo comparable con el mesias

[@A.B.989]

Mi ooop

[@71259mark]

In the end, though, what the heck ? To each his own.

Ugh, don't you know what it's like being a 12 year old? We laugh at silly things. That woman singing that high pitched bit... Never mind, your probably an adult, all grown up now :) (This is AdventuresofMon)

Hoping that you are well, AdventuresofMon.
