¡Louis Spohr: Die Letzten Dinge
¡Classical V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] Composer Louis Spohr, who celebrated the 260th anniversary of his birth in 2014, wrote his oratorio The Last Judgment in 1825-26, at the height of his activity. He was an acclaimed violinist, but he was also an accomplished conductor, having served as court music director in Gotha from 1805-12, then as conductor and director of the Theater an der Wien and the Frankfurt Opera House, and from 1822 until his death, as court music director in Kassel, where he was also well-versed in opera and other forms of music. He was also an expert in operas and other operas. It is said that more than 200 performers and an audience of more than 2,000 experienced this monumental concert. The text, as the title suggests, is based on the "Last Judgment" of Revelation and deals with fundamental human issues such as justice, responsibility, and redemption. The excitement of the first performance has descended again in 2013 in this miraculous masterpiece.
