Chapelle Royale, Philippe Herreweghe

Composed by: Mendelssohn: Elias

Mendelssohn: Elias

Mendelssohn's oratorio Elias is a sensitive, moving and substantial adaptation of one of the most beautiful chapters of the Christian Bible. This live recording from 1993 featuring Philippe Herreweghe was the first recording of the work on original instruments. The conductor draws maximum effect from Mendelssohn's powerful score, and upon its original release, this recording was universally praised.
