“This is the best of me,” wrote Edward Elgar on the score of The Dream of Gerontius. So forget everything you thought you knew about religious music – and about Elgar. It’s an experience like no other: the story of a lonely soul’s journey towards eternity, told in music that’ll break your heart. The Orchestra made the first ever recording of The Dream of Gerontius, but today, Andrew Manze, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir and an unrivalled team of solo singers will bring their own, very personal perspective to this masterpiece of British music.
