Inhalt: |
Edward Elgar’s great choral work, in the magnificent setting of St Paul’s CathedraI in London, formed part of the BBC’s 75th anniversary celebrations. It is a towering work, a setting of CardinaI Newman’s poem about the death of an eIderly sinner and his soul’s progress towards the judgment of God. Andrew Davis, an inspired interpreter of Elgar, conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra with soIoists Catherine Wyn Rogers as the AngeI, Philip Langridge as Gerontius and Alastair MiIes who combines the parts of the Priest and the Angel of the Agony. |
