Be awed by one of the 19th century’s most thrilling choral masterworks, Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah. The oratorio was the composer’s final major success and depicts events in the life of the prophet Elijah as told in the Bible’s Old Testament, in a magnificent work for choir and orchestra, performed here by the Willoughby Symphony Choir and Orchestra, conducted by Peter Ellis. Reviews when the work was first performed were ecstatic: “Never was there a more complete triumph.”
