There are always plenty of performances of rediscovered works, and the big event this year is a revival of Arthur Sullivan&#8217;s cantata The Golden Legend. Based upon Longfellow&#8217;s poem, it was first performed in 1886, and became second only to Handel&#8217;s Messiah in popularity in Victorian England, when it was regarded as the greatest of Sullivan&#8217;s serious works. In the last 75 years, though performances have been increasingly sporadic; this specially mounted occasion, with John Andrews conducting the English Symphony Orchestra will be a must for English music aficionados.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><em>Dorchester Abbey, Sat<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior classical critic Andrew Clements has chosen the ESO&#8217;s performance of Sir Arthur Sullivan&#8217;s &#8220;Golden Legend&#8221; at this year&#8217;s English Music Festival as a Guardian Pick in the May 25th issue of the Guardian, calling the performance\u00a0&#8220;a must for English music aficionados.&#8221; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Golden Legend, nr Wallingford The English music festival is now &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/eso-at-emf-is-a-guardian-pick\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;ESO at EMF is a Guardian Pick&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-headlines"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
