Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy completed his first oratorio St. Paul Op.36 in 1836 at the age of twenty-seven. The first version which was premiered on 22 May 1836 was then extensively revised by the composer. This second version which at the same time served as the basis for the published version was premiered as early as October that year in Birmingham. The acclaim with which the oratorio was received was exceptional. Within eighteen months of completing the score Mendelssohn was able to list fifty performances of the work. Robert Schumann praised the work effusively and even Richard Wagner who later denigrated Mendelssohn was full of admiration. Today St. Paul belongs to the core repertoire of sacred choral music.This Urtext edition of the oratorio edited by the internationally-recognised Mendelssohn scholar Michael Cooper is based on all critical sources. As well as the principal version of the work the score also includes for the first time numbers which were composed for the first version and subsequently removed.

Was Bedeutet Die Bewegung... a Mendelssohn song cycle for Baritone and Strings was premiered in 2012 by the renowned Baritone Matthias Goerne. This is no workaday transcription: in addition to skilfully arranging seven Mendelssohn songs for Strings and Voice Rasch has created a number of striking interludes to link the songs together. These interludes written in Rasch’s own post-Romantic voice and containing modern techniques including glissandi and snap-pizzicati add a whole new dimension to the 25-minute cycle startlingly revealing its dark undercurrents and psychologies.

Par HENSEL FANNY. ?This oratorio is the third of three church works composed in rapid succession on 1831; its scoring is more abundant than that of the cantatas composed prior to it: there are five- to eight-part choruses and the orchestra is expanded to include three trombones. Once again Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn looks back in musical history, this time to the pre-Baroque era, and adds a new dimension to her own compositional language by doing so. At times modal harmonies create an ?archaic? atmosphere for the biblical texts. Performance material available on hire. ? / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
