Overview

Joseph Haydn’s Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons) is a monumental oratorio that beautifully captures the changing seasons through a series of evocative musical movements. This box set presents the Winter portion of the oratorio, numbers 33-39, performed by a distinguished lineup of soloists, including Ingeborg Wenglor (Soprano), Gerhard Unger (Tenor), and Theo Adam (Bass). The performance is backed by the renowned Solistenvereinigung des Deutschlandsenders, the Grosser Chor des Berliner Rundfunks, and the Berliner Rundfunk-Sinfonie Orchester, under the baton of Helmut Koch. The timeless beauty of Haydn’s work is enhanced by the elegant accompaniment of Erhard Michel’s harpsichord, creating a truly captivating experience.
