Simon Halsey on Edward Elgar’s “The Dream of Gerontius” Daniel Barenboim conducts Elgar’s “The Dream of Gerontius”
While Edward Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius enjoys nearly the same esteem as Handel’s Messiah and Mendelssohn’s Elijah in his native England, almost every performance abroad is seen as a rediscovery. And it is to such that the Berliner Philharmoniker and conductor Daniel Barenboim invite you here, presenting a work with an individual musical language and the penetrating power of faith.
