Description
Bart Moeyaert author, narrator
The Netherlands Wind Ensemble and Bart Moeyaert together took Haydn’s three oratorios (The Creation, The Seasons and The Seven Last Words of Christ) and created a trilogy, starting with Genesis (De Schepping, 2004), followed by Earthly Paradise (Paradijs op Aarde, 2010) and concluding with Heaven.
In this last instalment, Moeyaert tells the story of the final day in the life of a man who has been acquainted with death for years – ‘like an eldest brother’ – accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Gerda Dendooven. And of course, the seven adagios from Haydn’s The Seven Last Words as they have never been heard before, as performed by the Netherlands Wind Ensemble and narrated by Bart Moeyaert himself.
