Elgar's Dream of Gerontius

Though I had to sit the Gerontius concert out last Saturday (due my bout with laryngitis), I hear Sacramento Choral Society & Orchestra gave yet another inspiring and dramatic performance! Bravo!!!

"The chorus, which Elgar uses sparingly in "Gerontius," sang with sophistication and dramatic grit. There are some incredibly fluid but unconventional choral moments in this work, and these 180 musicians handled those with a red-blooded urgency." Here's the full glowing review by Edward Ortiz of Sacramento Bee.
