on BBC Radio 3

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
A first at the Proms for Franz Schmidt's mighty oratorio on the theme of the Apocalypse. Embracing a whole world of musical sound from pastoral innocence to earth-shattering power, the biblical story reaches its climax with St John's warning that his vision of the Last Judgement will indeed come to pass.

Christiane Oelze (soprano), Cornelia Kallisch (mezzo), Stig Andersen and Lothar Odinius (tenors), Rudolf Hartmann (baritone), Laszlo Polgar(bass), Timothy Bond (organ), BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Franz Welser-Most
