The Dream of Gerontius by Edward Elgar is a two-part work for voices and orchestra composed in 1900 to text by John Henry Newman. Widely regarded as Elgar’s finest choral work, and by some his masterpiece, Gabrieli’s first-class performance, and McCreesh’s superb interpretation demonstrate why their recordings are seen as some of the best in classical music today.

“Nicky Spence is outstanding as Gerontius… [he] gives one of the finest performances of Gerontius on disc. The performance has been recorded very well indeed by producer Nicholas Parker and engineer Neil Hutchinson. The sound has presence and impact. This recording of The Dream of Gerontius is a considerable achievement per se and it includes one of the finest interpretations of the title role that I’ve heard on disc.” – MusicWeb International
