"Barbirolli's red-blooded reading of Gerontius is the most heart-warmingly dramatic ever recorded; here it is offered in a first-rate digital transfer. No one on record can match (Janet Baker) in this version for the fervent intensity and glorious tonal range of her singing as the Angel. The sound is overwhelming."
