Scherrer, Morloc, Gura & Volle Kammerchor Stuttgart & Klassische Philharmonie Stuttgart,, Frieder Bernius Elijah is regarded as a milestone in Mendelssohn’s output and as a high point in the history of
music in the 19th century. Mendelssohn’s second great oratorio, was composed just a year before
his premature death. “Frieder Bernius conducts his excellent Stuttgart forces with pace that never seems wilfully driven. All four soloists distinguish themselves… The chorus are musicianly in style, fresh and firm of voice; the orchestra win admiration both for the technical quality of their playing and their responsiveness to direction.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2008 “…authenticity seems here to have given way to mere tradition, sometimes, if not always, to the detriment of what we know Mendelssohn was trying to achieve. Michael Volle sings with considerable beauty, but he stays firmly within the bounds of good taste.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 **** |
