Somehow I think Elijah and his going up to Heaven in the end would be a most beautiful subject ...
It took Mendelssohn nine years to get Elijah written, years of struggling to find a librettist. of increasing pressures from all the other demands that were made on the golden boy of Victorian music. It nearly wasn'finished for the first performance in Birmingham in 1846 and he went on revising it virtually until his death a year later, at the age of 38. The story is written and told by EDWARD GREENFIELD with Jeremy Brett as Mendelssohn and ROBIN BROWNE , GODFREY KENTON , SANDRA CLARKE. FRASER KERR as his friends and contemporaries.
