Huge forces gather to perform Elgar's masterpiece The Dream of Gerontius. This intense work, a story of spiritual discovery told by Elgar with moving personal faith and conviction is also quintessentially British from the spine tingling opening to the passionate, symphonic climax.
Hallé: 'a classy performance all round... demonstrated the hushed tone and perfect ensemble that indicate a world class orchestra.' The Times
