John Smyth praises his latest purchase of

>Elgar's "The Kingdom" with Hickox/LSO.  (Chan8875)

and then asks:

>Is "The Kingdom" equally satisfying?

I imagine so.  But, seriously, do you mean The Apostles? The Apostles is
my favorite of the mature Elgar oratorios - more dramatic than either
Gerontius or The Kingdom.
