Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38

Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38

Staatsopernchor Berlin, Daniel Barenboim, RIAS Kammerchor

2017

Um experiente e apaixonado admirador de Edward Elgar, o maestro Daniel Barenboim dá sequência às excelentes gravações das duas sinfonias do compositor com o The Dream of Gerontius. Ele extrai uma interpretação primorosa da Staatskapelle Berlin, e os dois ótimos coros cantam a música com um envolvimento peculiar. Os solistas são bons e conseguem manter as lembranças dos cantores anteriores - já o maestro figura como o grande astro, com sua visão sólida e marcante nesta grande obra.
