The Dream Of Gerontius
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
English Romantic voices and visions—Elgar, Holst, and Delius dominate this collection of major vocal and choral works. Benjamin Britten conducts soprano Yvonne Minton, tenor Peter Pears, and baritone John Shirley-Quirk with the London Symphony Orchestra and fine choirs. Sea Drift showcases Delius's impressionistic orchestration, while Elgar's Dream of Gerontius ranks among the greatest English works for voice and orchestra—a deeply moving setting of Newman's spiritual poem. Holst's Hymn of Jesus brings cosmic grandeur. These are performances from musicians who understood this music intimately, bringing warmth and conviction to scores that deserve to be heard beyond their native shores.
