Info

(Jakob Ludwig) Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was a German composer, pianist and organist. He is one of the most important musicians of the Romantic era and set standards as a conductor that still shape conducting today. In addition, Mendelssohn Bartholdy advocated the performance of works by Georg Friedrich Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach. In doing so, he made a significant contribution to their rediscovery and the development of an understanding of the "classical" epoch of German music. He is considered a co-founder of historical music cultivation and founded the first music conservatory in Germany.

At the same time he developed his own notion about Elijah’s character and figure, which he described in a letter from 1838: "I think of Elijah as a righteous prophet, just as we need today, strong, eager, also angry and serious, in contrast to the rabble and almost to the whole world – yet still carried on angel’s wings." The project then was untouched for several years. It might have never been finished if Joseph Moore, the manager of the Birmingham Music Festival, had not asked Mendelssohn in June 1845 to write a new oratorio. The premiere...
