Music reviews of Mendelssohn - Elijah / Terfel, Fleming, Bardon, Ainsley, Fulgoni, Paul Daniel

Music Review: Lots of reverb; not much Fleming
Rating: 4 Stars

A fine performance, but be aware that Fleming only sings on Track 6 of CD #1; in the short role of the widow. Her mouth is open for all of 4 minutes or so.
Also, the chorus is set back quite a bit and their words are incomprehensible.
That said, the small orchestra plays well and packs a punch and Terfel is excellent. I can't compare this to any other performance as this is my introduction to this opus. The music always seems to be claiming that it is memorable, but somehow I did not find it to be so.

Genre: Classical Music

Release Date: 14-OCT-1997
Mendelssohn (1809-1847) is a perennially underrated composer who finally may be coming to greater appreciation. Certainly this fine recording (in English) of a masterpiece that he believed joined the Jewish faith of his fathers with his own Protestant Christianity should not hurt his reputation. The superb Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel gives a dramatically charged performance in the title role, while soprano Renee Fleming sings with beauty and limpid understanding; the cast is almost uniformly strong. The Edinburgh Festival Chorus, directed by David Jones, sings with care and conviction, and Paul Daniel conducts his forces firmly. --Sarah Bryan Miller
