Leading Elgar interpreter
Sir Mark Elder directs
a stellar cast and
large-scale choral forces,
reviving a major work of
the British choral
tradition. Elgar conceived
The Apostles as a
schoolboy, but the
project came to fruition
only in 1903 – after both
The Dream of Gerontius
and a visit to Bayreuth to hear Wagner’s The Ring
and Parsifal. Elgar explores the inner feelings of
Judas Iscariot with dramatic intensity, and
Christ’s anguished cry from the cross
becomes a wordless lament.
