Elijah, the story of the biblical prophet, is high drama: clashes with kings, rejection by the people of Israel, extraordinary miracles, visitation by angels, and Elijah's ascension into heaven on a flaming chariot. Elijah is the crowning glory of Mendelssohn's career and Masterworks is pleased to offer this great choral work with soloists and orchestra.
