The Plague

Crouch End Festival Chorus and London Orchestra da Camera under David Temple, with Paul McGann (narrator). John Adams's 'Harmonium'; and Roberto Gerhard's 'The Plague'. (Harmonium is an early work by Adams full of rhythmical energy and eroticism. 'The Plague' is based on Albert Camus's allegory on fascism 'La Peste', which tells of the plague's visit to a North African town in the 1940's – the narrator role is that of Rieux, the town's doctor).
