Music reviews of Mendelssohn: Paulus
Music Review: Powerful, musicians obviously very motivated
Rating: 5 Stars
A live performance is a double-edged sword, as noted by the other reviewer. There are some things that can go wrong that are hard to correct as one would in a studio recording, as well as extraneous noises. Certainly the other reviewer is correct in wanting a live performance labeled as such. However, the flip side is that the energy of a concert performance brings life that is difficult in a studio performance. This performance has everything I want in Mendelssohn. The bass lines serve as a solid anchor (at times like a hard hitting football game), the fugue sections are articulated well, the trombones give a full sound when they come in, the choruses have a depth of feeling. One can hear the glory as Jesus appears to Paul on the Damascus road. Several places one can hear the chorus building to the final cadences in a manner to work to the live audience (would have been nice to include the applause). The stylistic approach runs slow and steady tempos, which provides a strong link between Mendelssohn and Bach (rather than the flexible 19th century or the zippy tempos that are often found with baroque). If Mendelssohn's Paulus languishes in obscurity, it is certainly not the fault of this performance. This performance also offers a clue on what the Christus oratorio might have been like had Mendelssohn lived long enough to complete that.

Description of Mendelssohn: Paulus
Mendelssohn's oratorio Paulus--besides the great oratorios of Handel and Haydn, and Bach's Passions--counts among the most important works in the history of the genre, along with his own Elijah. Paulus was composed between 1834 and 1836 and the premiere took place in 1836 in Düsseldorf, bringing Mendelssohn his first European fame. The Bach Ensemble of the EuropaChorAkademie was founded in 1986 by Joshard Daus and, under his artistic directorship, has won an excellent reputation in the concert halls of Germany and abroad. For many years now Professor Joshard Daus has been considered an authority in the field of symphonic choral music. His regular musical collaboration with maestro Sergiu Celibidache, which began in 1986, led to his appointment as choral director of the Munich Philharmonic from 1990 to 1993. He has appeared as guest conductor with the Munich Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the NDR & WDR Radio Orchestras, and the SWR Symphony Orchestra.Classical CDs
