Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius

It was the Huddersfield Choral Society which made the first complete recording of 'Gerontius' on 8-12 April 1945; this latest chapter in the Society's ties to the work was recorded eighty years later, virtually to the day, on 5 April 2025 and displays as deep an affinity for Elgar's masterpiece as ever, especially with a conductor of Martyn Brabbins's Elgarian credentials.
