"At the end of the day the triumph is Mark Elder’s. He’s a marvellous Elgar conductor, as he’s already proved many times. The score abounds with minute tempo modifications and observance of these is essential if the vital ebb and flow in an Elgar score is to be captured. Elder is masterly at this. Nothing escapes his attention but, more than that, he makes these tempo modifications, many of which are tricky and last only a bar or so, seem absolutely natural."
- John Quinn, MusicWeb International
The Apostles is Elgar's companion oratorio to The Kingdom, a lavish orchestral scoring that is taken on by Sir Mark Elder's expert leadership of the Hallé. The instrumentalists rise to the occasion, performing this difficult score with verve and the vocalists deliver their interpretations with crisp clarity and musicality.
