An informative look behind the scenes of Joseph Haydn’s Oratorio "Die Jahreszeiten" (The Seasons) at the Salzburg Festival. Conductor: Nikolaus Harnoncourt. With Dorothea Röschmann (soprano), Michael Schade (tenor), Florian Boesch (bass), Concert Association of the Vienna State Opera Chorus, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. After "The Creation" (1798), "The Seasons" (1801) are Haydn's second great German-language oratorio. It describes the seasons from the perspective of farmers: spring is the time of sowing and hope, in summer the whole nature revives, autumn brings harvest, hunting and vintage, in winter fog and darkness come. The popular four-part work is a summary of all that Haydn was able to describe in music.
