SAKARI ORAMO (Conductor)
Sir Edward Elgar's strong Roman Catholic faith drew him to a text by Cardinal Newman which explores the journey of man's soul through death, divine judgement and Purgatory. It contains some of his greatest music and caused Richard Strauss to raise a glass, saying 'I drink to the success and welfare of the first English progressive musician, Meister Elgar'. The 大象传媒 Symphony Chorus and Orchestra won a Gramophone Choral Award in 2015 for their recording of Gerontius.
