Zubin MehtaAbout
It’s a monumental composition with orchestrations of superb richness in which Haydn combines the splendour of classicism with the majesty of sacred music. Large choruses, a sense of momentum and music that’s both powerful and refined accompany the listener through the various phases of the Bible’s account of the Creation, from the explosion of the first light to the marvelous air of the creation of man. To quote Alexander Pereira, superintendent of Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino: “The Creation conveys a meaning that reaches all the religions of the world equally, and that is why we decided to propose this marvelous masterpiece by Haydn as a sign of unity between all; it is a very important message at this time.”
‘Zubin Mehta left his signature mark in terms of sound cleanness and clarity, equilibrium in the dynamics and accompaniments, delivering an energetic yet solemn performance, perhaps one of his best conducting in Florence of the recent years.’ – Opera Click
‘A memorable performance, even though the lack of an audience and the final silence are a chilling testimony of these difficult times.’ – Opera Click
