Elias

The first thing that comes to nearly everyone’s mind upon hearing the name Elijah (Elias in Latin) is the fiery chariot.   The one that took the prophet to heaven. (Pseudo-researchers blessed with active imaginations have posited that this must have been a spaceship piloted by extraterrestrials.) Of course, the biblical Book of Kings also includes many other stories. For example, the one about the drought of several years caused by the people’s failure to listen to the word of God. Or how the Lord visited Elijah not surrounded by thunder and lightning, but as a gentle breeze. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was 20 years old when he conducted Johann Sebastian Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion. Music historians consider this 1829 concert to be a turning point, as before then it had not been customary to perform works by the composers of previous generations. Mendelssohn, however, was interested in Baroque music and, on a visit to England, witnessed the Handel cult that remained flourishing there. He wanted to create something similar with the Paulus oratorio. The commission to write Elias came from England. Handel was the natural model, as far as its formal structure was concerned. Nevertheless, the work’s melodic and harmonic worlds, or in other words, everything that fills up the Baroque-style framework, are Romantic to the core. And perhaps it is precisely this peculiar duality, the intentionally antiquated newness that continues to give this work, premièred in 1846 to tremendous acclaim, its magic.

English

Először a tüzes szekér jut szinte mindenki eszébe Illésről (azaz Éliásról). Az, amelyik felvitte a prófétát az égbe. (Nagy fantáziával megáldott ál-kutatók szerint bizonyára űrhajó lehetett, és földönkívüliek irányították.) A bibliai Királyok könyve persze sok egyébről is tud. Például több éven át tartó szárazságról, mert a nép nem hallgatott a jó szóra. Vagy arról, hogy az Úr nem villámlás és mennydörgés közepette látogatja meg Illést, hanem lágy szellőként. Húsz éves volt Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, amikor elvezényelte Johann Sebastian Bach Máté-passióját. Ezt az 1829-es koncertet a zenetörténészek fordulópontnak tartják: generációkkal korábbi szerzők műveit ugyanis mindaddig nem volt szokás előadni. Mendelssohnt viszont érdekelte a barokk, angliai útján tapasztalhatta az ott töretlenül élő -Händel-kultuszt is. Már a Paulus oratóriummal is valami hasonlót akart teremteni. A Éliást Angliából rendelték. Természetes, hogy Händel maradt a minta, ami a formai kereteket illeti. Ám a dallam- és harmóniavilág, vagyis mindaz, ami a barokkos kereteket kitölti, ízig-vérig romantikus. És talán éppen ez a különös kettősség, a szándékosan régies új adja mindmáig az 1846-ban óriási sikerrel bemutatott mű varázsát.
