"Sir Mark Elder’s performance of the complete oratorio evinces a wonderful glow, passion and dedication. Not only does he draw orchestral playing and choral singing of notable adroitness from his massed Hallé forces... his unerring grasp of the bigger scheme and scrupulous attention to dynamic and textual nuance make for profoundly nourishing results."
- Gramophone
The Hallé Choir and Orchestra are joined by soloists Claire Rutter, Susan Bickley, John Hudson and Iain Paterson in this stunning live recording of Edward Elgar's The Kingdom. Written at the peak of his orchestrating powers, this oratorio is played wonderfully by the Hallé musicians, radiating with assurance and sensitivity. Sir Mark Elder's signature restraint and ease with the score is evident throughout, and the vocalists are in top-form.
