Background: On 17 July 2011 over 800 performers gathered in London's Royal Albert Hall to give a rare performance of Havergal Brian's Symphony No 1 in D minor - 'The Gothic'. Tickets for this Prom sold out within 24 hours, and so it gives us great pleasure to make this live recording available to all.

It's a pretty phenomenal work. Responding to the challenge set by Sir Henry Wood, the composer has thrown just about every known orchestral instrument into the mix, then adding a double chorus of over 500, plus children's choirs, for an hour-long Te Deum - the church's blazing Hymn of Thanksgiving - which makes up the symphony's finale.

Whether or not you were lucky enough to be there on the night, this is a recording not to be missed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: recorded 17-Jul-2011 in London's Royal Albert Hall - Mar-2012 4 star BBC Music Mag. - Feb-2012 Gramophone Editor's Choice 'In a sense, Hyperion's release is a perfect one, of a great event, a magisterial work and an encapsulation of the enormous difficulties of the project as a whole.'
