Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Conductor Andrew Davis suffers from occasional bouts with that dreaded British bug--chronic dullness. He's not by any means a bad conductor, but you can always tell when he feels energized by the music he's playing or recording. Elgar is one of his great loves; that much is clear. These are his second recordings of the two symphonies, and they are excellent in every respect. Davis shapes both with a firm hand and a clear view of his final destination. Teldec's recorded sound is especially fine, naturally encompassing the extremes of Elgar's rich orchestration without unnatural spotlighting. At two discs for the price of one, this set is a great deal. --David Hurwitz
