A Nice Dash of Elgar, June 28, 2011
This review is from: Best of Elgar (Audio CD)
I write this not as a musician, conductor, composer, or other music professional, but as a fairly serious listener of classical music. I enjoy this CD because it gives you a good taste and exposure to Elgar. There is a (the best) movement from the Violin Concerto, the best variation (Nimrod) from the Enigma Variations, Salut d'amour, Cockaigne and a couple of Pomp and Circumstance marches. For some reason (coincidental?), I found myself listening to this a lot in June. I like this Best of series from Naxos because, almost invariably, I'll come across a piece that I hadn't heard before, but that I love (the movement from Glazunov's violin Concerto - from the Best of Glazunov CD - being the last example). To my ear, the playing and sound quality of the CDs in this series are consistently pretty good. I believe you will like this CD and others in this series as well.
