An historic document heretofore unavailable. Filmed at Canterbury Cathedral and originally broadcast on Easter Sunday 1968 . Sir Peter Pears' completely convincing and sensitively sung Gerontius, Dame Janet Baker's glowing Angel and Shirley-Quirk's stentorian, long-phrased and multi-nuanced Priest and Angel of the Agony.
