Wonderful!



[GeorgeM1949]

Indeed a wonderful performance of a far too infrequently heard work. Sadly the performers are not credited. Does anyone know who they are?

I have treasured this recording for many years! One of my first Oratorio records!:-)

So I can certainly tell you who the performers are!:

Altus: Friedreich Melzer( actually a ''normal tenor'' with great falsetto. I met him personally in ''Die Staufener Musikwochen'' in Germany. 1973.)

Tenor: Johannes Hoefflin

Bass: Wilhelm Pommerien ( Who I was always trying to imitate when I was in my late teens;-)

Westfälische Kantorei

Südw. Deutsch. Kammerorch.

Cond. Wilhelm Ehmann.
