Music reviews of Mendelssohn: Elijah
Music Review: Classic
Rating: 4 Stars
I was so pleased to come across the CD release of this old recording. I have a CD of a cassette tape of a reel-to-reel tape from the 60s and it's my standard. This recording finds all of these magnificent singers at their best, and Mme. Jones is here sans wobble which accompanies her later in her career. My only regret is M. Fischer-Dieskau. His singing is lovely as ever, if a bit too lovely for the music, but one misses a real bass (or bass/baritone) in this role. The chorus and conducting are fine. What I love about this recording is the straight-forward playing and singing which this chestnut needs. A more recent Elijah with Bryn Terfel and Ren?e Fleming is unfortunately marred by someone's idea of "drama" (I guess the conductor, Paul Daniel). On this terrible version, the chorus yells and "emotes" and goes way over the top, as do the soloists. Elijah is not grand opera, Mr. Daniels. In any case, if you want a standard, most excellent version of Elijah, I highly recommend this recording.
