Christoph Kuhlmann (organ) Orfeon Donostiarra
Toulouse Capitole
Orchestra/Michel Plasson Written for the 1885 Birmingham Festival,
Gounod's massive oratorio follows the spiritual journey from death through judgement to life, deploying a vast array of orchestral colours, exciting spatial effects and, in the famous Judex, one of the composer's finest melodies. Including Brian Wright talking to Roger Nichols about Gounod as one of the most controversial figures of Victorian musical life.
