Mendelssohn : Elijah
Description
One of the great oratorios in history with the London Symphony Orchestra and Antonio Pappano!LSO Live marks the beginning of its 25th anniversary year with the release of Mendelssohn's Elijah, recorded live in concert with Sir Antonio Pappano. From its very first performance, Elijah was met with thunderous applause. The life of the biblical prophet is told in one of the three greatest oratorios in the history of music, bringing the sacred to life in glorious song. The London Symphony Chorus and four electrifying soloists give voice to the oratorio in English, just as it was during its premiere. Gerald Finley brings the role of Elijah to life, and the orchestra intensifies the drama without losing sight of the calm that reigns at the heart of the storm. From its very first performance, the audience gave thunderous applause for this masterful interpretation!
