Prom 37 - Elgar - The Apostles
Work:: Prom 37 (S362)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: Elgar - The Apostles (T0408400642)
Leading Elgar interpreter Sir Mark Elder directs a stellar cast and large-scale choral forces, reviving a major work of the British choral tradition. Elgar conceived The Apostles as a schoolboy, but the project came to fruition only in 1903 - after both The Dream of Gerontius and a visit to Bayreuth to hear Wagner's The Ring and Parsifal. Elgar explores the inner feelings of Judas Iscariot with dramatic intensity, and Christ's anguished cry from the cross becomes a wordless lament. There will be one interval. Finish time approx. 21:15
