Zum Programm

»In the case of Elijah I had in mind a real prophet through and through, the kind we could use again in present times – strong, constant, but also fierce and furious and sombre, in contrast with the rabble at court and amongst the people, and also in contrast to the whole world, and yet borne on the wings of angels.« With his Elijah, Mendelssohn composed one of the most successful oratorios of the 19th century. Great choruses, operatic drama and gripping expressions of emotion still captivate audiences to this day.
