Mendelssohn: Elijah

Mendelssohn: Elijah

Renée Fleming、 Bryn Terfel

1997

孟德爾頌 1846 年的神劇巨作《Elijah》(以利亞) 以聖經以利亞的故事為題，並受巴洛克時期巴哈與韓德爾的神劇啟發。在收到三年一度的英國伯明罕音樂節委託後，他便展開了《以利亞》的創作。經常造訪英國的孟德爾頌，深知韓德爾的大型英語聲樂作品廣受歡迎。而身為「巴哈專家」的他也才剛指揮演出了巴哈的《馬太受難曲》，是 1750 年巴哈逝世以來這部作品的首度公演。篇幅宏偉、共 42 樂章的《以利亞》需動員完整編制的管弦樂團、管風琴家、八位聲樂家、和大型合唱團來演出。此張 1997 年備受讚譽的錄音，由著名男中音 Bryn Terfel 和女高音芙蕾明 (Renée Fleming) 分別飾演先知與寡婦，並由啟蒙時代管弦樂團 (Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment) 帶來考究歷史的精彩伴奏。
