Mendelssohn, Felix - Elias - Rilling, Helmuth

Helmuth Rilling has recorded numerous large oratorios in the past decades, always working with outstanding singers - often long before they became known internationally. Christine Schäfer, who participates in this performance, is such a case. As in most all of his interpretations Helmuth Rilling here performs with the Gächinger Kantorei and the Bach-Collegium, ensembles which are well acquainted with his musical vision. Rilling's oratorio recordings have not lacked the authority of being an essential reference and are now being reissued as a Midprice series, as has the "Paulus" before.
