Product Description

Product Description

CHORAL CD OF THE YEAR 2005 award from Classic Record Collector Magazine. This amazing performance of the great oratorio "Elijah" was made in 1930. After a little digital restoration its audio quality is excellent. The perormance is just stunning. The cast includes top singers of the day: Harold Williams, Isobel Baillie, Clara Serena and Parry Jones, together with the super BBC Natioanl Chorus and Orchestra conducted by Stanford Robinson. A recording milestone.

Review

First rate standards of production and repertoire… astoundingly good quality. -- Classic Record Collector

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Elijah 14 Sep 2011
By Rob
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Astonishingly well remastered considering the 1930 recording age, and superb vocals of Isobel Baillee (and others). Elijah has been a favourite of mine for many years, and apart from the excellent vocals / chorus / orchestra on this 2-cd set, there is a more pronounced organ element than in more recent recordings, which I particularly like. Although this is described as the earliest complete recording, it is not as complete as later recordings, but near enough. Overall it is superb, even taking account of the mono and the occasional crackles. If this were a new stereo DDD recording with this cast it would be unbeatable (unless Felix himself was conducting!). You probably can see that I am not a music expert, but I listen to what I enjoy, and I certainly enjoy listening to this recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 10 Oct 2012
By Rosamunde - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This work, transferred from a 1930 recording to a CD, is a miracle of modern technology. The clarity of sound of these distinguished singers more than eighty years ago persuades me that I am present in their audience - a most moving experience.

This sensation is present even while allowing for certain anomalies of interpretation which result from the period of the performance.
