Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius
Kazuki Yamada conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus and top ranked soloists in a performance of Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius.
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鈥檚 profound and heartfelt Dream of Gerontius. It鈥檚 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 鈥榝arewells鈥� in classical music history.
Presented by Linton Stephens.
