About the Music

James Levine conducts a grand work considered by many to be Mendelssohn’s greatest, his oratorio Elijah. This big work is strongly influenced by Bach, whose St. Matthew Passion Mendelssohn conducted in 1829, rescuing it from obscurity and triggering a renewed interest in that Bach work. Mendelssohn wrote Elijah at the request of the Birmingham Festival, one of England’s great choir festivals; it was first performed there in 1846. For that occasion the original German text was translated to English; in the present performances the German text, taken from the Old Testament, will be used.
