Elgar The Dream of Gerontius, Opus 38
"This is the best of me," wrote Sir Edward Elgar on the final page of his manuscript. "This, if anything of mine, is worthy of your memory." The Dream of Gerontius is Elgar’s affirmation of faith, in the tradition of Messiah. Edo de Waart brings the season to close, leading the Orchestra and Chorus in Elgar’s breathtaking oratorio.
