Album information
The three-time Grammy-nominated Boston Baroque, widely regarded as "one of the world's premier period-instruments bands" (Fanfare), marks the beginning of its relationship with Linn with a two-disc recording of Haydn's The Creation.
Boston Baroque, conducted by Martin Pearlman recorded Haydn's masterpiece at Mechanics Hall in Worchester, Massachusetts. The soloists Amanda Forsythe soprano, Keith Jameson tenor and Kevin Deas bass-baritone joined the ensemble for the performance of Haydn's crowning achievement. The Creation remains one of the greatest works in the 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."
This recording was named one of the 'Top Ten Classical CDs of 2012' by Manchester Evening News.
