The Tivoli Road Baker

It's great company—and after reading it, you might recognize that you're further along than you imagined." —David Hinton, editor and translator of The Four Chinese Classics and author of The Wilds of Poetry

Danish trumpeter Allan Botschinsky's legacy as one of the greatest Scandinavian musicians of all time is now the stuff of legand, with glimpses of his creative and virtuosic voice remaing in recordings. The tragically underappreciated trumpet and cornet player was named Danish Jazz Musician of the Year in 1963 and came to even greater notoriety in the 70s and 80s before moving to Germany and London and slipping into public anonymity.

'The Dream of Gerontius' is probably Edward Elgar's masterpiece and certainly one of the glories of the English oratorio tradition. A setting of Cardinal Newman's poem about a man's death and the journey of his soul toward heaven, it is one of the most heartwarming affirmations of faith and salvation in all of music and also a work of great intensity and passion, influenced by both Mahler and Italian opera. Several great British conductors have left their mark on 'Gerontius,' but none was more strongly associated with it than Sir John Barbirolli, who directed it many times before making this famous recording, which he regarded as a testament of his own faith, in 1964. While Barbirolli's Halle Orchestra and the combined choirs distinguish themselves mightily, the crowning asset of this vividly dramatic reading is Janet Baker's glowing performance as the Angel, a breath of life which makes an already powerful experience unforgettable.
