Description

Britten's legendary 1971 LSO recording of Elgar's choral masterpiece is widely considered definitive — a fellow British composer bringing extraordinary empathy to the score. Peter Pears is incomparable as Gerontius, with Yvonne Minton and John Shirley-Quirk completing a stellar cast. Decca's premium engineering captures every detail of this towering performance — essential listening for any serious collector.
