Another chance to hear Sunday's Prom. Noted Elgar conductor, Mark Elder, conducts what he calls a very special work, with many wonderful moments. This glorious setting of Cardinal Newman's poem, which was given to Elgar as a wedding present, inspires and compels with a joint choir of over 350 singers, as it follows the journey of Gerontius from his deathbed into the very presence of God.
