Elgar: The Light of Life

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Sir Edward Elgar was asked in 1895 to write a work on a biblical subject by the then-vicar of Bdarnich in Devon. The vicar suggested the story of Christ giving sight to a blind man, calling it Lux Christi. Elgar changed it to The Light of Life, and it was supposed to be the prelude to a trilogy of oratorios that never materialized. Even so, some of Elgar's strongest work is in this masterpiece. John Shirley-Quirk in the role of Jesus is a knockout, as is Arthur Davies in the role of the blind man. A genuinely great work. --Paul Cook

4 out of 5 stars The finest English oratorio.......2003-07-20

Except for those who love all things English, most classical fans consider English music to be second rate. Austrian/German composers are grouped to the fore with Russians right behind. The fact is that most of the best music of the 20th century came from England and "The Apostles" is one of those great underrated works. The stately and pastoral themes common to most Brits are in ample evidence here and the well known talents of Sheila Armstrong and Robert Tear are showcased well. The opening sections of 'The Calling...' and 'By the Sea..' are full of peace and calm. But during 'The Betrayal,' Elgar's score erupts as Judas vents his sorrow in music easily comparable to that of Wagner's Wotan. Clifford Grant's performance in this music is one of the most incredible performances by any bass on record.
The six minute Meditation from Elgar's "Light of Life" also comes from the turn of the century. Adrian Boult provides dependably idiomatic leadership and the remastered recording from 1974 sounds excellent. The balance slightly favors the soloists. A great adventure awaits those who explore this joyful and melancholy oratorio.

      Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Boston's grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free; these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the world's greatest; the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable; the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellan
