Background: This release has its roots in the first (disastrous) performance of Gerontius in October 1900. Julius Buths, the music director of the Lower Rhine Festival, was present and despite the work’s lacklustre reception he saw potential. Buths set about translating the text into German for a performance he wanted to conduct in December 1901. By May 1902 Gerontius was being toasted by Richard Strauss prompting Elgar to write to Novello, his publisher, with excitement and enthusiasm: ‘It was worth some years of anguish- now I trust over- to hear him call me Meister!’
