Synopsis

For the first time on DVD, experience Leonard Bernstein's legendary 1986 performance of Haydn’s *The Creation*, conducted in the stunning Baroque setting of the Benedictine Abbey of Ottobeuren, Bavaria. The DVD also features Bernstein’s insightful introduction to the work. Considered Haydn's masterpiece, this oratorio portrays the creation of the world, drawing inspiration from Genesis, the Book of Psalms, and Milton’s *Paradise Lost*. While profoundly religious, the music vividly evokes the grandeur of nature and the world's birth. As Bernstein himself said, “The Creation gives us time to remember—and rejoice in—the purity and grace and fortitude of Nature, to restore our souls, to recover our moral strength, and to rediscover our power to praise.”
