Loewe composed Hiob as his twelfth oratorio in 1848. To understand the context and background of the work and Loewe's oratorio style in general, it is important to be aware of the environment in which he wrote: Mendelssohn had died a year earlier, and his benchmark oratorios 'Paulus' (1836) and 'Elias' (1846/47) were already available, and Loewe is likely to have been familiar with them. Telschow wrote a condensed summary of the 42-chapter Book of Job from the textbooks and psalms of the Old Testament for the oratorio. The rediscovery and reconstruction of the Book of Job in Bad Durkheim in 2001 was the prerequisite for the present recording.
