Mendelssohn: ELIAS
In the organizer's words:
After its premiere in Birmingham (1846), "Elijah" was only challenged for first place on the list of acclaimed choral works in England in the 19th and 20th centuries by Handel's "Messiah". Musical natural phenomena and forces pervade this great oratorio, which was extremely popular from the outset. Mendelssohn tells the dramatic story of the Old Testament prophet Elijah, who we encounter here both strong and combative, as well as resigned and downright depressed. The monumental work with its very dramatic first and lyrical second part will be performed in the Gürzenich. The ensembles of the University of Cologne will thus be performing at a place where Mendelssohn himself worked and conducted - as director of the Lower Rhine Music Festivals in 1835 and 1838.
