2011 Gramophone awards winner – choral CD of the year.
Under Sir Mark Elder, Elgar once again features centrally in the Hallé’s repertoire. Their Dream of Gerontius took an Award in 2009, the Violin Concerto in 2010 and now The Kingdom completes a distinguished trio. Our reviewer Andrew Achenbach commented on the glow, passion and dedication of Elder’s performance. He drew attention to orchestral playing and choral singing of notable adroitness from his massed Hallé…[Elder’s] unerring grasp of the bigger scheme and scrupulous attention to dynamic and textual nuance make for profoundly nourishing results. And with superb singing from the four soloists, here’s a Kingdom to stand alongside the classic Boult recording.
