«Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons)» is the album featuring the oratorio by Franz Joseph Haydn, released in 2006 by Naxos, on double CD.
The oratorio follows the cycle of the year through three peasant soloists and the villagers' choir, with scenes such as the summer storm, the hunts, the dawn, the winter fog and the folk dances. Written after «La Creación», Haydn turns these scenes of rural life into music of great vividness and colour.
Recorded at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig in July 2004. Soloists: Sibylla Rubens, Andreas Karasiak and Stephan MacLeod, with GewandhausKammerchor and Leipziger Kammerorchester conducted by Morten Schuldt-Jensen.
For fans of classical music and choral oratorios of the classical era.
