Performer: James Geidt

Adrian Partington and the Philharmonia give an impersonal, soporific rendition of Elgar's The Apostles at Gloucester Cathedral. 

Purcell's counterpoint is beautifully sung by a young cast to inaugurate England's latest country house opera venue.

Students triumph in Tchaikovsky's Iolanta and Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortilèges.
