5 out of 5 stars Super collection of Elgar's major works.......2004-06-28

Most compilations of composers works usually only feature, at best, maybe one or two works in recordings that are of outstanding quality, especially if different artists are featured. Such is absolutely not the case with this collection, one of the finest of its sort ever issued.

This box makes a perfect one stop shopping choice for the major, most-well-known works the British composer Sir Edward Elgar. The title is misleading though. The box, on 8 CDs at an incredible price, contains both Orchestral AND Choral works.
Since Amazon does not list the contents, I will :

Symphony Nos. 1 & 2 -- LPO , Solti
Serenade for strings - ASMF , Marriner
Intro and Allegro - ECO , Britten
Cello Concerto - Webber , RPO , Menuhin
Enigma Var. -- CSO , Colti
Cockaigne Over -- LPO , Solti
Violin Con -- Chung , LPO , Solti
Falstaff -- Montreal , Dutoit
Dream of Gerontius -- LSO , Britten
Sea Pictures -- RPO , Mackerras
In the South -- LPO , Solti
Pomp and Circumstance -- LPO , Solti
Imperial MArch -- Band of Grebadier Guards , Bashford
Sospri -- ASMF , Marriner
Elegy -- ASMF , Marriner
Wand of Youth -- Welsh NO , Mackerras
Starlight Express -- Welsh NO , Mackerras
Dream Children -- Welsh NO , Mackerras

Look up almost any of the individual works and you should be able to find these recordings in their individual issues, many with several 5 start ratings.

I won't elaborate on any of the specific recordings, just take my word for that there isn't a dud in the box.

If you have no Elgar, and you don't to hunt and peck for the right recordings of the best works, get this special set now.

      5 out of 5 stars Barbirolli solves the Enigma.......2001-05-12

      Shortly after they were written, Elgar's "Variations on an Original Theme" became known as the "Enigma Variations," for reasons that are even more enigmatic than the music itself.

      There is no mystery, however, to Barbirolli's recording of the piece with the Philharmonia Orchestra. He keeps the orchestra sharp and on task; there is none of the wallowing that is often found in recordings of Elgar's music. Rather, Barbirolli lets what I think is Elgar's true voice come through; he was a Romantic, yes, but he was also a gifted academician, and one must not forget that a set of variations such as this is as much an academic excercise as it is a vehicle for personal expression.

      Though "Falstaff" is what might be called a "tone poem," there is nothing particularly Straussian about it. Barbirolli, this time leading the Halle Orchestra, again demonstrates his keen understanding of the distinctive style of Elgar.

      For a disc that captures the best of both composer and conductor, do not hesitate to get this one.

      5 out of 5 stars great, authentic interpretations from Elgar's friend.......1999-02-03

      Boult first met Elgar when he was 14. He watched him conduct and later worked with him. Temperamentally, he was rather like the composer - reserved and 'private' on the surface, full of musicality and strong feeling beneath. These performances from the very early 50s - particularly 'Falstaff' and the Nursery Suite - are full of life, vigour, poetry and insight. The LPO was in difficulties at the time, financially, recovering from the War years, and the playing is rough in places, but it almost makes the whole thing more human. They really are wonderful performances and, now, a bit of history. Very strongly recommended.

              Customer Reviews:

              5 out of 5 stars I HAVE seen this CD and really like it........2003-10-31

              This is a two CD set on which, though several of the cuts are edited, more than half appear in their entirety. What a splendid set they make! I've always been a fan of the musical grandeur evinced in British Imperial music. This album, particularly the first disc, offers music from this genre in spades, both instrumental and choral works. Hubert Parry's "I Was Glad" shines out in dazzling brilliance. Listening to Walton's warhorse "Crown Imperial" and Elgar's "Coronation March" we can visualize the full ceremony of state. And listening to Coates' "Dam Busters March" brings to mind all the hope of a proud people fighting, down to its last collective drop of blood, a mortal threat being wrought by an invader's ruthless forces. I'm sure this sounds melodramatic, but after all, total emotion is what this music is all about. I might ask for a cut or two less of Coates or Walton, not because those recordings were not excellent, but because, instead, I'd have liked a cut from Bridge, Tippett, or even Rutter. But, excepting that slight objection, this CD duo does its job most excellently and well.
