Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)

Jamie Barton (Mezzo-Soprano), Allan Clayton (Tenor), Derek Welton (Bass-Bariton), Rundfunkchor Berlin (Ensemble), WDR Rundfunkchor (Ensemble), Simon Halsey (Rehearsal), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Ensemble), Cristian Măcelaru (Conductor)

While rarely performed in Germany, Edward Elgar's oratorio "The Dream of Gerontius" follows Handel's "Messiah" and Mendelssohn's "Elijah" in popularity in England. This masterpiece reveals the true side of the English romanticist, known mainly for the "Pomp and Circumstance" marches. The monumental work follows a soul's journey to heaven after death, guided by a guardian angel, until it beholds God's glory.
