To cull or not to cull: Haydn / The Creation / Karajan / 1969

No, I'm not culling this (*) !
Actually, this CD set was in the shoeboxes in the attic, due to a preliminary, non-final decision.
But today I enjoyed listening to it; it is a fine, maybe even excellent recording.
I'll have to put it on the waitlist for the currently full CD cabinet in the living room.
The orchestral music is beautifully played, combined with terrific singing by the soloists (obviously a stellar cast) as well as the chorus.
