The 18th century was an age of discoveries in the fieldsof music, art, science, philosophy and exploration,following on from the period known as The Age ofEnlightenment , when the western world was catching upwith more advanced ancient cultures of Egypt, India andChina. This was the era of artists, Reynolds, Stubbs,Gainsborough, Constable, and Turner whose impressionsof light matched Haydn’s musical interpretation in theopening movement of his choral masterpiece “TheCreation”, and innovational scientists and engineers,Faraday, Cavendish, Fourier , Telford, and the Royal
Astronomer Herschel who in 1792 gave Haydn his glimpse at the stars. [In 1722 aDutch explorer had discovered Easter Island, and in 1779 Pierre Bouchard found theRosetta Stone , inscribed with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Demotic script,also the ancient Greek language, which unlocked the language of hieroglyphics.] Withhis first visit to London, at the age of 59, Joseph Haydn was transported to a newworld following his years of isolation at the courts of Count Morzin and the Esterhazyfamily that, as he explained in one of his letters; “I was cut off from the world. Therewas no one to confuse or torment me, and I was forced to become original”.

A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY
Joseph Haydn’s Keyboard Concerto No.11 in D waswritten between 1780 and 1783, originally composed forharpsichord or fortepiano and scored for an orchestra ina relatively undeveloped galant style evident in his earlyworks, and has a lively Hungarian Rondo finale. However,it does show similarities to Mozart’s piano concertos.Haydn and Mozart probably became acquainted in 1784.
Steven Devine’s skills as a renown fortepianist aredisplayed as, like Haydn, he also directs the orchestra.

HAYDN & HERSCHEL: In 1792 Joseph Haydn visited Herschel at his observatoryin Slough where he was amazed and “dumbstruck” at the sight of the stars. At thistime he was inspired by Handel’s oratorio “The Messiah” to write his own greatmasterpiece, so was this amazing sight of the universe the seed for his “Creation”?As Albrechtsberger mentioned in a letter to Beethoven in 1796, after he had metHaydn in Vienna, that the composer was full of ideas for his oratorio based onMilton’s “Paradise Lost”. It cannot be just a co-incidence that the openingmovement of the Creation explodes with the crescendo of “LIGHT”!
