Customer Reviews:
20th century classics.......2007-07-03
Edward Elgar was probably the last of the great Romance composers in classical music, with many of his works published in the 20th century. Being English in origin, his music, like many other British Romance music, is subdued and relaxing in manner; no thunder and lightning like Beethoven's 5th or Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony. This 2-disc set presents some of Elgar's better known orchestral works, his first two symphonies and his "In The South" and "Cockaigne" overture. The last piece is probably the most famous in this set, and is recorded very well. In The South was unknown to me before buying this CD, and does not stand out as either as an excellent or memorable piece of music. The two symphonies are good, and tunes from both of them are distinctly familiar to fans of modern Hollywood theme music. For example, the middle parts of the 2nd symphony sound strangely similar to some of the softer themes in the Star Wars movies.
The overall sound quality is good. Both CD's provide about an hour of music, so this set is somewhat expensive at the Amazon price. But a cheap used copy is a great buy, which is what I got.
More authentic than native Britons?.......2002-12-03
Elgar's two symphonies tend to be discursive and soft-grained--at least the way they're frequently performed. Sir Georg Solti (a Hungarian knighted for, among other things, his tenure as director of the Royal Opera at Covent Garden) is not the first man who would have come to mind as a natural successor to Adrian Boult or John Barbirolli as far as Elgar's music is concerned, but in fact he gives Elgar's two completed symphonies (a Third Symphony exists only in sketches, which were filled out and orchestrated by Anthony Payne a few years ago) a welcome shot of adrenaline. The blunt, clipped phrasing and fast tempi in these recordings have a clear precedent in Elgar's own performances. As a result, the music has a ruddy glow to its cheeks and strides forward with a sense of purpose. I would say, however, that the Second Symphony gets the more deeply considered interpretation here (despite its being better known and more frequently heard than the First Symphony, the Second is not necessarily the finer piece); the First is just a tad superficial in Solti's hands, although the London Philharmonic give their best in both symphonies (and the two overtures which fill out this bargain-priced set).
To add to the other review.......2002-01-21
I agree with the review below and would add that it seems these recordings tend to be enjoyed more by people who didn't think they liked Elgar more than hard-core Elgarians, at least that has been my experience. I never thought I liked these works until I heard this set. So I would recommend to anyone who is in that position to give it a shot.

Hundred records contracts.......2004-11-16
Leonard Slatkin has recorded 100 performances, Pinchas Zukerman, 100 performances, and Janos Starker, 150 performances. Doesn't RCA/BMG need them anymore?
I had heard Symphony 2 on record, but there is an Enigma and vagueness about these symphonies. They take forever and never get to the point.
Enigma Variations were pleasant enough, enough to make me sleep. I recognized Elgar in the last variation. Elgar fits more of what I am with an optimism and bombast in the orchestral works. Zukerman's rendition of Elgar's Violin Concerto is off-key ala Paganini.
I don't know whether Starker's or Du Pre's Cello Concerto playing is the most satisfying. But I definitely like it.
I suppose these recording stem from the Seventies. I heard Zukerman on CBC Radio 2 talking so I know he is available.

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.

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

Very good # 2; presentable #1.......1999-10-08
Teldec have now repackaged Andrew Davis's views on the two Elgar symphonies. The recordings come from two different sessions, and I think this shows. The first symphony (on disc 1) is given a performance that is somewhere between good and very good; it is straightforward but ultimately lacking in any special qualities. The coupled marches similarly are quite well done. Maybe the rather dry acoustic of Barking Town Hall in East London had something to do with it.
The version of the second has been generally praised in the UK, and Davis moves up a notch here with a performance to rank with the best, although for me Barbirolli isn't quite matched. In the South also comes over very well, and the church used for the recording of these two works imparts a greater sense of atmosphere than in the works in disc 1. Overall, it could be argued that the set is very worth having just for the second symphony and the overture. If you take this view, you will get a presentable first as a bonus.

Energetic new Elgar First.......2003-07-01
On their own in-house label, the Halle Orchestra and Mark Elder give us a resplendent new Elgar First Symphony, coupled with an exciting, richly played "In the South." These are vigorous performances, filled with energy and very well recorded.
The symphony in particular has wonderful solidity, and a cumulative power that peaks in the final movement. (In between, make sure to savor the lovely, tender "Adagio.") "In the South" was new to me, and it's highly enjoyable -- again, played with as much passion as the symphony. And as if these two weren't enough, soprano Christine Rice, with Elder at the piano, does might be considered a charming encore, a short song called "In Moonlight."
The revitalized orchestra sounds marvelous. This and the group's two other recent offerings (Nielsen and more Elgar) will no doubt help bring a larger audience for this superb ensemble, not to mention conductor Mark Elder. This completely assured recording shows that he clearly knows his Elgar.
Some people I know think Elgar's work is a bit stiff or on the quiet side, and if you feel similarly, this might be just the antidote you need. A really invigorating start to what I hope will be a long and fruitful Elder/Halle era.
