  • Description

    Composed in 1848, Hiob was Loewe's twelfth oratorio. To understand the context of the work and Loewe's oratorio style in general, it is important to note that Mendelssohn had died a year earlier, having already published his benchmark oratorios St Paul (1836) and Elijah (1846/47), and Loewe is likely to have been familiar with them. Telschow's libretto for the oratorio comprised a summary of the 42 chapters of the Book of Job from the textbooks and psalms of the Old Testament. The rediscovery and reconstruction of Hiob in Bad Durkheim in 2001 instigated this recording.
