CD Reviews

Moving, crisp text of exceptional quality.

bass24ever | Houston, Texas United States | 07/31/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Subject pretty sums it up. The soloist, choir and orchestra perform exceptionally for the conductor to deliver a wonderful performance you will want to listen to again and again. A plus for me is the text from this recording matches the G. Schirmer, Inc. score, ISBN 0-7935-4559-5, that my church choir will use in its performance. This recording is making it very easy to learn my part."

Wonderful, dramatic performance

bass24ever | 08/18/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a re-release of the older Angel recording. A wonderful performance with all the singers at their peak. Fisher-Dieskau is one of the best Elijah's I have ever heard. Text is in English."

A Joyfull Elijah

David A. Hill | Burlingame, California United States | 05/02/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an original sound recording made by EMI in 1968 and is still the standard by which one should enjoy Mendelssohn's Elijah. With Gwyneth Jones, Nicolai Gedda, Janet Baker and Dietrich Fisher-Dieskau what more could you ask for in a performance of one of the great masterpieces of music. The libretto, originally in German, was translated into English by William Bartholomew who Mendelssohm called a translator 'par excellence.' Enjoy-enjoy-enjoy!"
