5 days agoElgar: The Dream of Gerontius album review Gardner and the LPO's reading is bold and dramatic
The artwork for The Dream of Gerontius Recorded live at the 2022 BBC Proms, this propulsive reading has a great deal going for it. Allan Clayton captures the febrile nature of the dying man whose every sensation is both a terror and a fascination. His heroic tone thrills in the great prayer, Sanctus Fortis, while an expressive use of text illuminates the philosophical question and answer session in Part Two.
