Soli Deo Gloria's DVD of The Creation (Die Schöpfung) is both a musical and a visual feast. Filmed in the beautiful setting of Grote Kerk, one of the oldest churches in the Netherlands, Haydn's musical portrait of the mystery of Creation comes alive under the direction of John Nelson: 'I don't think there is any composer who had more of a sense of humor than Haydn. He was just naturally given to fun, to joy, to humor...and you find it all in this music.' The acoustics of the venue make the music sound magical, and the results are a magnificent 'Creation.' The musicians include The Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic and The Netherlands Radio Choir, with soloists Lisa Milne, Werner Güra, Matthew Rose, Lucy Crowe, and Jonathan Beyer. Sung in German.
