Kazuki Yamada leads the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus and a glorious trio of soloists, Jess Dandy, Benjamin Hulett and Roderick Williams, in Elgar’s profound and heartfelt Dream of Gerontius. It’s very much a homecoming for this mighty oratorio, which was first performed in Birmingham in 1900. It has since become a cherished British work, touching and terrifying by turn and with one of the most beautiful ‘farewells’ in classical music history.

Presented by Linton Stephens.
