Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Elijah, op. 70
If Alfred Hitchcock had been alive in 1846, he would have been thrilled. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s Elijah is a drama rich in conflicts and tension: immediate, gripping, nightmarish. The Old Testament story of the prophet Elijah: a musical whodunit. Christopher Moulds, English conductor and expert in historical performance practice, will rehearse Mendelssohn’s Oratorio Elijah with prominent soloists and the choirs of Liestal and Muttenz high schools.
