A British masterpiece, made in Birmingham. “This is the best of me,” wrote Edward Elgar on the score of The Dream of Gerontius, and this story of a lonely soul’s journey towards eternity is told in music of deep emotion and heartbreaking beauty. It’s one of the supreme masterpieces of British music, and it’s conducted tonight by one of its most distinguished living interpreters, Sir Andrew Davis.
