The gramophone, 2017 August
"Staples is a young-sounding and affecting Gerontius ... He uses his vulnerability to good effect ... Wyn-Rogers sings with great feeling and intensity and an always vivid response to text ... Hampson is hugely authoritative in his priestly exhortations ... Barenboim's Berlin choirs are both sensitive and impressive, and refreshingly true in intonation ... So plenty to savour ... I know I shall be returning to if often and with great pleasure"

"Presto disc of the week: A Gerontius of staggering power and terrible beauty ... Barenboim's reading plays up the work's affinity to Parsifal, and even to the fire-and-brimstone sound-world of Verdi's Requiem - the apocalyptic vision of God is the most terrifying and transcendent I've ever experienced ... The sweetness of Staples' timbre doesn't preclude the strength needed for the work's climactic moments"

"Barenboim moulds every phrase lovingly but never cloyingly and secures orchestra playing of the very highest level, infused throughout with a burnished gold, especially in the strings. Hampson is imposing but never overstated, while Wyn-Rogers is both subtle and responsive. Staple's lighter tenor works well too, clear and focused with both good diction and proper heft"

Vurdering: 5/5
BBC music magazine, 2017 September
"This starts very well indeed ... the Wagnerian atmosphere and timescale of so much of this work ... No conductor today understands better than Daniel Barenboim how Wagner unfolds ... The sound he gets from the orchestra, and from the chorus, has a richness and depth ... When Catherine Wyn-Rogers's Angel enters she seems utterly at one with Barenboim's vision - that really is the word. The problem is Andrew Staple's Gerontius ... Listening to Wyn-Rogers's Angel's Farewell you get a sense of the great recording, this very nearly was. But it isn't"
Fono Forum, 2017 November
"Eine Aufführung von Elgars Oratorium ... steht und fällt mit der Besetzung der Titelrolle ... Der Gerontius hier, Andrew Staples, ist der Partie technisch gewachsen, hat die nötige Höhe, das nötige Stehvermögen - alles keine Selbstverständlichkeiten. Seine Einfühlung in die Rolle ist dennoch wenig entwickelt ... Thomas Hampson ist souverän ... Was in dieser Aufführung Eindruck macht, ist ... der Dirigent, dem Werk und Komponist augenscheinlich eine Herzens-angelegenheit sind"
