Elgar / Parry - Dream of Gerontius (The) - Hickox, Richard
Leveranstid: Skickas vanligtvis inom 2-5 dagar
In this re-release celebrating the recorded legacy of the late great conductor Richard Hickox, we hear the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in Elgar's choral masterpiece The Dream of Gerontius, setting to music large sections of Cardinal Newman's poem about the journey of a man's soul to judgement and Purgatory. As well as considering it one of his finest works, Elgar saw The Dream of Gerontius as one of his most personal utterances, claiming that 'you will find Gerontius far beyond anything I've yet done... I have written my own heart's blood into the score'. This recording was highly acclaimed on initial release, being hailed as 'a masterpiece' by The Guardian. The disc also features two works by Sir Charles Hubert H. Parry. Blest Pair of Sirens was held in the highest regard by both Elgar and Vaughan Williams and is still a firm favourite with many choirs. The anthem I was glad was composed for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902, and has been performed at the three subsequent coronations, in 1911, 1937, and 1953.
