London Symphony Orchestra & Chorus / Davis,Colin - Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

a deeply felt, thoughtful and, where needed, highly dramatic interpretation of an indisputable masterpiece. (Gramophone) Inchorchestral textures were sensuously coloured, and the vast symphonic structure flawlessly paced and handled. The choral singing, thrilling in it's immediacy and clarity, can only be described as electrifying from start to finishInch (The Guardian) InchFor Davis, Elgar is a European composer, and the links to Wagner are clear... Davis is the star guiding shaping, enhancing the beauty and the flow.Inch (The Times) Album Tracks 1. No. 1, Prelude to Part One 2. No. 2, InchJesu, Maria - I Am Near to DeathInch 3.
