This new recording remains a powerful reminder that music endures in even the darkest times, and displays as deep an affinity for Elgar's masterpiece as ever, especially under a conductor of Martyn Brabbins's Elgarian credentials.

In 1917, while the First World War raged, the choir performed 'The Dream of Gerontius' under Sir Edward Elgar himself. 23 of its members were serving overseas at the time; two basses, Lewis Walker and Frank Rushfirth, never came home.

It coincides fortuitously with the release of a new film from Alan Bennett called 'The Choral', which highlights a fictional Yorkshire choir determined to keep music alive while its men are called to the front, in a story bearing remarkable similarities to the HCS's own story.

From the opening set of Glosas, 'glosses' on eleven traditional Portuguese songs; through five graceful Lullabies; to the concluding 'Album for the young pianist' which, beyond its obvious educational purpose, invites stylistic comparisons with Bartók's 'Mikrokosmos'.

This new recording from HCS, fondly known as 'The Choral', marks 80 years since the choir made the hugely successful first-ever recording of the work in 1945.

As fate would have it, Huddersfield Choral Society is the real-life choir whose story is mirrored in the new Alan Bennett film 'The Choral', where a Yorkshire choral society sets itself the huge challenge of mounting Elgar's 'Dream’ even when depleted by members serving in the First World War.
