About
Soar heavenwards with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in Elgar’s epic choral work: a breathtakingly beautiful meditation on life, death and the soul. ‘This is the best of me’, wrote Edward Elgar on the score of The Dream of Gerontius . So put aside any preconception about religious music – and about Elgar, too. This story of a lonely soul’s journey towards eternity is an unforgettable human drama, told in music of startling sincerity and heartbreaking beauty.
