Though there are many similarities to the two programmes, there are also some differences. The world famous Hadyn specialist Ádám Fischer is present at both, but during the afternoon event the conductor also speaks to the audience, explaining the piece in his direct, natural style. The music is the same - but at the afternoon concert the young audience will enjoy a performance of an abridged version, without an interval. In the afternoon, the oratorio will be performed in Hungarian so the young listeners can understand every word. The soloists will also be Hungarian, whereas the evening production will feature a selection of international stars. The afternoon performance of The Creation will feature three outstanding Hungarian singers: the soprano Rita Rácz, the tenor Zoltán Megyesi and the bass Krisztián Cser. Ádám Fischer has both a deep working relationship and strong friendship with one of Europe's most exceptional groups, the Danish Chamber Orchestra, who we can hear during both the afternoon and evening performances. Naturally, the choir is also the same: on 1 January 2022, we will hear the Hungarian Radio Choir, with Zoltán Pad as choirmaster. One notable aspect of the concept is that there should be no need for visual effects during Youth Creation concerts. Hadyn's picturesque music itself depicts the scene, something that the explanatory commentary of the conductor will draw attention to for the school-aged listeners in attendance.
