Good fun, though I confess I picked out whodunnit before the end. But the murder of an obnoxious choirmaster whose mouth is stuffed with the music...

But I have never thought much of Elijah, even if he IS supposed to turn up at our Seder table at Passover. Nor of his acolyte Elisha. And I can recall a rabbi who said to our class, "If someone came to you and said, 'Hey, he went up to heaven in a fiery chariot and said to tell you I'm in charge now,' what would YOU think? Yeah, me too.: He killed him."<br /><br />Not a nice man! But oratorios are great! Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
