Franz Joseph Haydn has long been a focus of admiration for conductor Sir Simon Rattle. In this podcast conversation with Raymond Bisha, we hear excerpts from his recent recording of the composer’s oratorio The Creation, “the last masterpiece that this amazing man wrote.” A clear candidate for one of the maestro’s Desert Island Discs, Sir Simon reflects how the work provides “every type of music and every emotion that might be needed, as well as the company of somebody who would still make you glad to be alive.”
