Volume 4 of the SELECTED WORKS OF Louis Spohr 1784-1859- Die Letzten Dinge. (The Last Judgement) Spohr was a key figure in the early history of the regional musical festivals that were to play such an important part in stimulating the composition of German oratorios. A subject which appealed to a number of German composers in the eighteenth century was the Apocalypse, a not inappropriate theme in the war-torn Europe of Napoleon. Including an introduction and score.
