Description:

With this re-release the superior offerings of master conductor Richard Hickox are made available to new audiences. Elgar, well-loved for his massive and mighty Dream of Gerontius, gets another moment in the sun with the lesser known but imposing oratorio the Light of Life for soprano, contralto, tenor, and baritone soloists with full choir and orchestra. From the downbeat of the opening "Meditation," Hickox makes his mastery of Elgarian musicality obvious to even the passing listener as he leads the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus into rich and beguiling territory.

"The Light of Life, op.29" is a captivating oratorio composed by Edward Elgar and performed on this CD by the renowned London Symphony Chorus and the LSO under the direction of Richard Hickox, with soloist Howarth. This recording brings to life Elgar's early masterpiece, which blends spiritual depth with lush orchestration and memorable melodies. The performance captures both the grandeur and intimacy of Elgar?s vision, making it an essential addition for any classical music enthusiast. Chandos, the esteemed British label behind this release, is celebrated worldwide for its high-quality recordings and dedication to bringing exceptional performances to listeners everywhere. The London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) stands as one of Britain?s most distinguished ensembles; under conductors like Hickox?known for his insightful interpretations?the LSO has garnered international acclaim through numerous award-winning recordings.
