Ein Oratorium Nach Worten Des Alten Testaments. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Nur ein Jahr vor seinem Tod erzielte Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy mit seinem Oratorium 'Elias' einen Erfolg, der ihn bis heute zu einem der beliebtesten Oratorienkomponisten gemacht hat. Von packender Dramatik und gleichzeitig von einer Innigkeit des Gottvertrauens, wie sie zu Mendelssohns Lebzeiten durchaus nicht mehr selbstverständlich war, bietet dieses Oratorium den Aufführenden eine Vielzahl an musikalischen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten. Der alttestamentliche Bibeltext ist in den Rezitativen, Arien und Chorsätzen recht genau aufgenommen; um die Dramatik zu steigern, legt Mendelssohn ihn zum Teil dialogisch an und kommentiert ihn aus den Prophetenbüchern und demPsalter. Dadurch entsteht ein biblisches Drama, dessen 22 Abschnitte zu ausgedehnten, dramatischen Szenen zusammengefaßt sind. Allerdings können ohne weiteres auch einzelne Chorsätze aus dem 'Elias' herausgelöst und zu passenden liturgischen Gelegenheiten im Gottesdienst oder in geistlichen Konzerten aufgeführt werden. 'Bei einem solchen Gegenstand wie Elias . . . muß das Dramatische vorwalten. . . die Leute lebendig redend und handelnd eingeführt werden, . . . eine recht anschauliche Welt, wie sie im alten Testamente in jedem Kapitel steht, ' schrieb Mendelssohn an seinen Librettisten. Die 'anschauliche Welt' setzte er in packenden Baalschören, dramatisch durchkomponierten Szenen und schlichter Engelsmusik um. Die Carus-Neuausgabe von R. Larry Todd, Duke University/USA, gibt ausführliche Informationen über Entstehungsgeschichte und Quellenlage. / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,

Eli jah is regarded as a milestone in Mendelssohn's compositional output and as a high point in the oratorio literature of the 19th century. Mendelssohn composed his second great oratorio just a year before his premature death. This excitingly dramatic work also expresses a fervent belief in God, a belief which in the 19th century was no longer self-evident. Mendelssohn transposed the visible world of the Old Testament into numerous musical expressive possibilities in which Old Testament texts, including psalm texts and commentaries from the words of the Prophets, were shaped into biblical dramas. For a subject like Elijah ... the drama must reign supreme ... the characters must be introduced speaking and acting like living people ... a quite vivid world of the sort we find in every chapter of the Old Testament. Mendelssohn to his librettist. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.4013000.
