The orchestra, choir and soloists perform the wonderful music during the AVROTROS Friday Concerto of Friday the 20th of December 2019.

If just Mendelssohn would have lived a couple of years longer and would have been able to complete ’Christus’, the work surely would have been equal to ’St. Paul’ and ’Elijah’ in its length and artistic quality. Now there are only a couple of finished movements so the work remains as a torso; no sketches or partly completed movements have been discovered for the remainder movements and for the third part, ’Resurrection’. This is a superb performance and excellent sound quality, too!
Ein sehr schönes Musikstück, sehr schön aufgeführt, das mir viel Freude gibt. Es ist mir ganz neu und ich bin so dankbar, dass ich es gefunden habe.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses unvollendeten Meisterwerks von Mendelssohn mit herrlichen Stimmen aller genialen Solisten und gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors sowie gut vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Echt hörenswert!
APROXIMADAMENTE 30 MINUTOS DESTA PROMISSORA OBRA FORAM COMPLETADOS POR MENDELSSOHN. IMAGINEM SE ESTE ORATÓRIO FOSSE COMPLETADO. CERTAMENTE SERIA UMA DAS MAIS INSPIRADAS E BEM REALIZADAS PEÇAS SACRAS DO ´SECULO XIX. É UMA LÁSTIMA QUE NÃO TENHA SIDO ACABADO. ALBERTO AGUIAR DA CRUZ.
Sublime, exciting, indescribable, beautiful voices and sounds gift of gods, thanks.
