The oratorio Elijah (Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah Op. 70) gives voice to a mighty prophet who is plucked from obscurity and lends a quiet but strong voice amid dark and turbulent times. The story of Elijah reflects a timeless response to upheaval and injustice and the stand against corruption, resonating with the world today.

Elijah is a deeply human figure – one who wrestles with exhaustion, burnout and self-doubt. First performed in 1846, Elijah has become one of the most celebrated oratorios in the choral repertoire. Rich in emotional depth and musical brilliance, the themes of courage, doubt and moral conviction still speak to audiences around the world.

Mozart's Great Mass

Arts Centre Melbourne

David has carefully structured his selection according to key and timbre, and the esteemed Australian Haydn Ensemble have chosen instrumental movements by Felix Mendelssohn (at his most Schubertian!) to contrast or reinforce each song.

The movements date from the last tragic six months of Mendelssohn’s life, in which he battled both illness and bitter mourning for his sister Fanny. Published posthumously as Op. 81, the Andante, Scherzo, Capriccio and Fugue are strange and passionate stand-alone works that push into territory even more melancholy than his final quartet in F minor.

Schubert Songs with David Greco

Albert Hall Canberra

State Library of New South Wales

Much more than a lieder recital, this rare and beautiful concert features some of Schubert’s most darkly-hued songs, superbly delivered by David Greco’s mahogany bass-baritone, and intensified by rich and expressive string quartet accompaniments. David has carefully structured his selection according to key and timbre, and the esteemed Australian Haydn Ensemble have chosen instrumental movements by Felix Mendelssohn (at his most Schubertian!) to contrast or reinforce each song. The movements date from the last tragic six months of Mendelssohn’s life, in which he battled both illness and bitter mourning for his sister Fanny. Go on this wild and sad journey; when you come up for the autumnal Canberra air, you’ll never feel more alive.
