Haydn's "Creation" on video

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Music appreciation friends visited again last night and we looked at a laserdisc of "The Creation" featuring Hogwood, Kirby (pretty as a picture BTW), Johnson & George.
Hogwood's interpretation is out on CD and is rated highly and the musical side of this LD production was most enjoyable + excellent audio quality. A marvellous piece of music.
The video was a mix of the performers & church but had some quite imaginative and appropriate scenes of nature to compliment the music. Altogether a praiseworthy production.
However it does not seem to have been released on DVD but might have been on VHS (see link below). The two other versions which are obtainable on DVD do not seem to have got good reviews so it is puzzling that the excellent Hogwood version has not been transferred to DVD format.

Do not criticise the idiots in this world - we need them as they make the rest of us look so much better :-)
