Hallé Choir | Hallé Youth Choir

The music of Elgar is in Sir Mark Elder’s blood. Tonight, in the company of vast choral and orchestral forces and a stellar cast of soloists, he conducts the composer’s rarely-performed masterpiece The Apostles. A work that deserves far greater recognition (some critics believe it superior to The Dream of Gerontius), its mystic choruses and its vivid orchestration are just a few of its more remarkable features. The work’s closing section – depicting Christ’s Ascension to heaven – is surely one of the most poignant ever written.
