Background: It was on a visit to London in 1791 that Haydn heard several of Handel's oratorios at Westminster Abbey. Astonished by their size and power - "Handel is master of us all," he is said to have declared - he determined to write a similar work himself. Die Schöpfung was the result, though its exuberant hymning of the simple joys of life is pure Haydn.

Five years after a much-acclaimed version of The Seasons, René Jacobs chooses this 'beginning' to make his major contribution on record to the celebration of the bicentenary of Haydn's death.
