With a text by the composer, and music which is at turns lyrical, mystical and magical, is ecstatic in its glorious choral depiction of the events following Pentecost, when the Apostles began their work for the Church in Jerusalem.

Latest release in Elder and Halle’s renowned Elgar series.

Recorded live at sell-out Bridgewater Hall concert.

Features leading British soloists who are closely associated with Elder and Halle – expressive range of Elgar’s writing for voices in is perhaps its greatest glory.

Previous choral release (CDHLD7520) won Best Choral recording in Classic fm Gramophone Awards 2009.
