Ferdinand Hiller: The Destruction of Jerusalem, Op. 24 (1840) (US Premiere)
He was an intimate of Mendelssohn, of Goethe, and a champion of Chopin, Liszt, Berlioz, and Brahms. As one of the most influential Jewish composers and musicians of his day, Ferdinand Hiller witnessed virtually the whole of music in nineteenth-century Germany, even visiting Beethoven in his final days. Hiller's grand 1840 oratorio The Destruction of Jerusalem is a stirring biblical parable with singular personal conviction.
