Programme Note
The first performance of Mendelssohn’s oratorio Elijah in 1846 was a tremendous success and the work has remained immensely popular ever since. Mendelssohn’s great gift for melody is given full rein here, and the oratorio combines drama and expressive feeling in an almost operatic manner.
