Description:

[The two Elgar symphonies are the voices of the Edwardian dynasty to which he belonged, and not only do they evoke nostalgia for the past, they are also full of Elgar's human feeling, dignity, beauty, and sometimes pure elegance. (omission) (Conductor Mackerras) is now at the peak of his maturity, and his recording of Elgar's No. 2, which was made in response to the popularity of Elgar's No. 1, is also a masterful performance, rich in flavor. The second performance of Elgar's No. 2, recorded in response to the popularity of Elgar's No. 1, is also a masterful performance full of rich flavor. -The second recording is also a masterful performance with rich flavor. DECCA 90th anniversary commemoration - Green color label coated - Rubidium clock cutting [Performed by] Della Jones (mezzo-soprano) (2), Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Conductor: Sir Charles Mackerras Recorded: March 1993, London
