Haydn: Die Schöpfung (The Creation), Stimmat an die Saiten (Sir Colin Davis, LSO)

[ralgarte]

Since it's the LSO: Bloody GREAT!!!

[KarrotKun1]

I enjoy The Creation more in English, so I can understand it. :/

[AntoineS16]

Haydn rules!!!!

[mortalfrog0815]

the title is misspelled! it's: stimmet an die saiten

[blnldn]

Anazing, the chorus even manages to pronounce German words perfectly. First class performance!

i dont understand why does this passage is so overwhelming to me... it sounds so joyful and astonishing... it is like really hearing to the god creation itself... what i said? even the ones that does not believe in a god, they must accept that we are made from dust and this sounds exist because something created us to create this powerful music.

[HerrWarja]

I sang it in school. It was very fun.

Aw, gotta love your "herrliche Pwracht" :D Great, great, great show. We're singing this in June in Cologne, I'm so looking forward but I doubt we'll be as good as you guys :) I love this channel, thanks for sharing this.

[andresobotta]

That's right ;-)

the last part of your sentence should be:

"stimmt that/it ?" if you would translate literaly.

[60ECg]

Also, My German ain't that good, is it Stimmt?

[WeisserPaladin]

Yes, it should be "Stimmt an die Saiten", meaning "Strike up the strings".

[ernestoernesternst]

this is correct: Stimmt an die Saiten! :-)

[patoa94]

@60ECg it´s stimmt an die Saiten ;-)

[60ECg]

If the LSO could contact the tenor in: Aeolians Awake the Harp. I would love to hear him sing this with the LSO. In the section The Heavens are telling, when the tenors hit the A#, that will give you some idea of their power.

I know you don't like posting a lot of things, but I watched the link you had last week of the entire performance of this, and I was struck by Sally Matthews "Mit Staunen sieht" and I was wondering if you could post that small excerpt?
