Background: This 1964 recording of The Dream of Gerontius, though made over four days at Christmas in a miserable and foggy Manchester, has long been the version of choice in round-up reviews. Besides the leading Gerontius of his day, Richard Lewis, and the tremendous doubled chorus, it established Janet Baker as a peerless Angel.

This new coupling presents another classic of Dame Janet's early recording career, as soloist in The Music Makers, which she recorded precisely two years later under Sir Adrian Boult. Both these large-scale works now benefit from entirely new transfers and 24-but digital remastering.
