Roderick's selection includes one of Elgar's best loved orchestral works transformed for voices, an octet of Valkyries and the prized musical treasure of an Elizabethan gentleman.

Roderick's selection includes one of Elgar's best loved orchestral works transformed for voices, an octet of Valkyries bickering on their way to Valhalla, and two baleful, choral curses directed towards disgraced apostle, Judas Iscariot. Plus a prized musical treasure from the personal collection of an Elizabethan gentleman.
