Watch Haydn, Die Schöpfung - John Nelson

Conductor John Nelson leads the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic and the Netherlands Radio Choir of Haydn's oratorio, The Creation. From the opening orchestral portrait of the beginning chaos, through to the crowning "Achieved is the glorious work", The Creation depicts the formation of the world and draws its inspiration from the Book of Genesis, The Psalms, and John Milton's Paradise Lost.
