Music reviews of Mendelssohn: Elijah
Music Review: A Masterwork of the Art of Recording
Rating: 5 Stars
Quite simply, this is a towering masterwork, first on a performance level; a great orchestra, a truly great conductor (I heard him conduct again recently here in Cincinnati---and he is still great--over 40 years after this recording was made), as well as several of the most magnificent voices of the 20th century---all at their respective peaks.
In addition folks, it is ultimate realization of both the art and science of the grammophone--this is analog recording high-art. The Fruhbeck de Burgos recording of Elijah will never be surpassed---ever---because musicians are rarely trained in this era to aspire to the level of greatness that one hears on this disc.----Just buy it---and it will never leave you!!
