LAST NIGHT'S PERFORMANCE

OF "THE CREATION"

Haydn composed his oratorio "The Creation" when ho was 65 years old, about 12 years before his death in 1809. When it was first performed in Vienna in 1798 it is reported that the whole audience was deeply impressed but no one more so than its composer, who said "one moment I was as cold as (ce, the next I was on fire. More than once I was afraid I should, have a stroke":

During the performance last night by the Sino-British Orchestra and Hongkong Singers, ¿no ene 'was observed to be on the verge of a stroke, but this is no reflection at all on the performance. We were treated to a beautifully con- trolled performance of this somewhat naive but charming work.
