Successful
from the outsetFriedrich
Schneider's second
oratorio Das Weltgericht
was an immediate success
at its 1820 premiere in
Leipzig. The initial
triumph of the work,
which the appearance of
Mendelssohn's oratorio
Paulus only gradually
diminished, helped the
new type of choral
oratorio to its
breakthrough. To this day
the work has been
considered the high point
of the German oratorio
genre between Haydn and
Mendelssohn as where the
storyline is essentially
borne by the choir. With
the appearance of this
Urtext edition taken over
from the catalogue of the
Pfefferkorn music
publishers, the Last
Judgment is once again
fully available. Also for
sale in addition to the
score is the very
playable piano reduction
prepared by the composer
himself.
