Reviews – The Dream of Gerontius
A brilliant start to our Elgar triple oratorios of concerts in June 2023 - Elgar The Dream of Gerontius led by Sir Mark, with huge thanks to Alice Coote, Michael Spyres, Neal Davies, Hallé Choir and Hallé Youth Choir.
Many thanks to PZ Cussons for their support.
“As this soul-stirring performance of Edward Elgar’s oratorio showed, the partnership between the Hallé and its music director is something truly special, a profound bond forged over 24 years.”
“The big set pieces of the evening were carried off with all the expected floor-shaking grandeur, but it was the gentleness of the softer passages which left the strongest impressions here, creating a sense of an extraordinarily spiritual Gerontius.”
