  • Elgar's the Dream of Gerontius
    Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius - Some personal observations on recordings of the work by John Quinn Updated 2020 This article originally appeared on MusicWeb in 2007 in connection with the 150th anniversary of the birth of Elgar and I updated it in 2014 when we marked the 80th anniversary of the death of the composer in 1934. The release in 2018 of a newly-issued 1961 live recording conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent caused me to refer to our Masterworks Index for Gerontius whereupon I discovered, slightly to my surprise, that since my 2014 update this was the fifth recording of the work to be issued – although only two of them were brand new. In addition, I’d caught up with two earlier recordings – conducted by Sir Alexander Gibson and by Yevgeny Svetlanov – to which I’d referred in the survey though I’d not heard them. Time, then, to refresh the survey in order to include these seven recordings. For this latest 2020 revision I toyed with the idea of a fundamental re-write, considering all the recordings in chronological order. However, on reflection it seems to make more sense to retain the layout of the 2014 text and to add comments about the seven recordings not previously covered by the survey in a new section just before the summary. I have made as few changes as possible to my original 2007 text because that included detailed comments on several versions that hadn’t, at least then, been reviewed on MusicWeb International whereas the more recently released recordings have generally received full reviews at the time of issue.
