This is the first studio album from Haydn, Franz Joseph since bad diagnosis in 1969. On Die Schoepfung. Der Erste Tag album, Haydn, Franz Joseph have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. After seeing Die Vorstellung des Chaos (Largo), I had to have a good Haydn, Franz Joseph cd. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
Rezitativ mit Chor: (Raphael, Uriel) Im Anfange schuf Gott Himmel und Erde is worth the money. Arie mit Chor: (Uriel) Nun schwanden vor dem helligen Strahle (Andante - Allegro moderate) - another great track from the Die Schoepfung. Der Erste Tag album. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. First time I heard Chor mit Sopransolo: (Gabriel) Mit Staunen sieht das Wunderwerk (Allegro) was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Rezitativ: (Raphael) Und Gott sprach: Es sammle sich das Wasser (Walter Berry - bass, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Haydn, Franz Joseph released so far. Still going through Die Schoepfung. Der Erste Tag and coming to appreciate Arie: (Raphael) Rollend in Schaeumenden Wellen (Allegro assai) (Walter Berry - bass, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) more and more with every listen. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Rezitativ: (Gabriel) Und Gott sprach: Es bringe die Erde Gras hervor (Gundula Janowitz - soprano, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) is my favorite song on Die Schoepfung. Der Erste Tag. Nice and different song. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Haydn, Franz Joseph offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Rezitativ: (Uriel) Und Gott sprach: Es sei’n Lichter an der Feste des Himmels (Werner Krenn - tenor, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Rezitativ: (Uriel) In vollem Glanze steiget Jetzt (Andante - Allegro) (Fritz Wunderlich - tenor, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Rezitativ: (Gabriel) Und Gott sprach: Es bringe das Wasser in der Fuelle hervor (Allegro) is one of the more up-tempo songs on Die Schoepfung. Der Erste Tag. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. This track is clearly meant to showcase Haydn, Franz Joseph’s vocal abilities. Best song on the album, love it. I came to like Terzett: (Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael) In holder Anmut stehn (Moderato). Chor mit Soli: (Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael) Der Herr ist gross in seiner Macht (Vivace) is probably one of Haydn, Franz Joseph’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Rezitativ: (Raphael) Und Gott sprach: Es bringe die Erde hervor lebende Geschopfe is one of the best records ever. Rezitativ: (Raphael) Gleich oeffnet sich der Erde Schoss (Presto - Andante - Adagio) the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. Arie: (Raphael) Nun scheint in vollem Glanze der Himmel (Maestoso) is the albums biggest surprise. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Die Schoepfung. Der Erste Tag. Arie: (Uriel) Mit Wuerd’und Hoheit angetan (Andante) (Fritz Wunderlich - tenor, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) catches attention immediately, Put Rezitativ: (Raphael) Und Gott sah jedes Ding (Walter Berry - bass, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) into car stereo for your highway driving Chor: Vollendet ist das grosse Werk (Vivace) (Wiener Singverein Chor dir. Reinhold Schmid, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. I listened to the opening track Terzett: (Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael) Zu dir, o Herr, blickt alles auf (Poco Adagio) and liked it a lot. Chor: Vollendet ist das grosse Werk (Vivace) (Wiener Singverein Chor dir. Reinhold Schmid, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) have really caught my ear and imagination. Orchestereinleitung und Rezitativ: (Uriel) Aus Rosenwolken bricht (Largo) (Werner Krenn - tenor, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Get Die Schoepfung. Der Erste Tag and turn on Duett mit Chor: (Eva, Adam) Von deiner Guet’o Herr und Gott (Adagio) if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Haydn, Franz Joseph has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. No Haydn, Franz Joseph song has come close to capturing my attention as Duett: (Adam, Eva) Holde Gattin, dir zur Seite (Adagio - Allegro) did. Rezitativ: (Uriel) O gluecklich Paar, und gluecklich immerfort (Werner Krenn - tenor, Berliner Philharmoniker con. Herbert von Karajan) is a excellent sing-along. Haydn, Franz Joseph must have run out of lyrics on the next track Schlusschor mit Soli: Singt dem Herren alle Stimmen (Andante) (Christa Ludwig - contralto, Di).
