Format:Audio CD
Personally, I think this live performance of Elgar's Cello Concerto, with Daniel Barenboim, is the most profound and moving of all. There's an uncanny rapport between the cellist and the orchestra, and the longer pauses in crucial moments, especially in the slow movement and the finale, only increase the sense of deep Elgarian longing and inevitability of fate. It is a miracle that the couple sustains the perfect marriage of expressive freedom and noble control. This is definitely the one of those performances in which the emotional concentration is so intense and focussed that the music transcends this world.
The performance of Enigma Variations already shows the signs of Barenboim's greatness as a conductor to come. Again, he captures all the subtle nuances and deep lyricism of the music, allowing each voice of the orchestra much freedom to express, while his intellectual grasp of the architecture of the whole work never wavering. There is a timeless quality in this performance, as in Barenboim's account of Elgar's two symphonies.

Format:Audio CD
I bought this for myself having lost a previous copy. It was wonderful to hear it again - one of the few pieces that brings a tear to the eye. I once recorded a programme about Jacqueline du Pre, where she played this at the end, but in the days of VHS someone recorded over it. What a pleasure it is to be able to listen to this fabulous recording once more.
Format:Audio CD
I bought this CD primarily because I like Jacqueline du Pré. Elgar's Pomp & Circumstance Marches and the Enigma Variations are are ecellent pieces, but when combined with Jacqueline du Pré it becomes superb.
