Around 150 participants played and sang under Haydn’s baton, including the singer Christine Gerardi - the only woman on stage - with her “light and youthful soprano voice, beautifully shaped, expressive phrases and especially her fiery eyes”, alongside Ignaz Saal “with velvet might” as Raphael and Matthias Rathmayer as Uriel. Both the audience and the music critics were captivated.
The Viennese correspondent of the Neuen teutschen Merkur [New German Mercury] reported back to Weimar that the music of The Creation had a “power of depiction which surpasses all imagination; one is swept up, sees the elements storm, sees it become light, the fallen spirits sink deep into the abyss; one trembles at the rolling thunder, joins in the jubilations of the heavenly host. The sun rises, the joyful praise of the birds rises to meet it; the green plants sprout from the earth, the cool stream tinkles silvery, and rising from the deeps, Leviathan sports in the foaming waves.”
