CD Reviews

The glory of Sir Edward Elgar
Robert J. Cruce | Muskogee, OK United States | 07/14/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is "historical" with the performances having been recorded in 1947 and 1956 (stereo). I continue to be heartened by the astonishing sonic restorations available to today's listeners and this CD is yet another example. Sir John Barbirolli's interpretation should satisfy anyone who admires the 1st symphony. This is not just Elgar's big "Tune" as Elgar was known to have described the main theme of the first movement. This is a sophisticated and profoundly worked out orchestral piece, waiting to be explored by those who think they have heard it all, but think Elgar was a stuffy Victorian."
