2001 studio album by Branford Marsalis / Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
Creation is Marsalis's second classical album, after the 1986 album Romances for Saxophone.
Reception
The album reached number 2 on the Billboard Top Classical Albums chart.
In his AllMusic review, Richard S. Ginell calls the album a "winner, sumptuously recorded and proof that good things can come from those who wait." He specifically calls out the rendition of Darius Milhaud's La Creation du Monde for praise, calling the performance "well-paced, very polished and urbane, yet sufficiently raucous -- if not ideally swinging -- in the jazzy stretches." Tim Smith, writing for The Baltimore Sun, calls the performance "sometimes sexy" and "thoroughly winning." In PopMatters, Ben Varkentine says the album is "a beautiful and rewarding work, perhaps nowhere more so than on Darius Milhaud's Scaramouche, a suite for Saxophone and Orchestra." Hilarie Grey, writing in JazzTimes, says the recording contains "intimate, sacred moments to vivid cinematic vistas" and calls the artists "a powerful and absorbing combination."
