About LinkBacksHi all, Bob here from Alberta.
I am finding it tough to decide which recording of the Dream of Gerontius is the one to buy. Any suggestions or thoughts welcome!

Hello Bob,
Sorry I don't own any recording of Gerontius (as yet) so I can't help. Just wanted to say a big welcome the forum - and I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will advise you - sooner or later!

here are a couple of VERY fine recordings:
The Dream of Gerontius: Peter Pears (Gerontius), Yvonne Minton (Angel), John Shirley-Quirk (Priest, Angel of the Agony), London Symphony Chorus and Choir of King's College, Cambridge, London Symphony Orchestra, Benjamin Britten. Decca 448 170-2. Recorded 1971.
The Dream of Gerontius - Paul Groves (Gerontius), Alice Coote (Angel), Bryn Terfel (Priest, Angel of the Agony), Hallé Orchestra, Hallé Choir, Hallé Youth Choir, conducted by Sir Mark Elder Hallé CD HLD 7520
I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.
