Excellent value. 19 Jan 2004
Format:Audio CD
I purchased this CD on the Penguin Classics label. It is the same recording as this one in every respect. Penguin Classics was a series of high quality recordings drawn from the distinguished catalogues of Decca, Deutche Grammophon and Philips.

Apart from Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance, I was unfamiliar with his other works. I'd heard about the epic Cello Concerto and was familiar with the one Enigma variation (Nimrod) that crops up on telly adverts from time to time.

I wanted a budget disk to try out Elgar, yet of sufficient quality that I wouldn't feel pressured to upgrade if I liked it.

I've always loved the passion that a cello can portray. It is a large instrument and as such can deliver striking dynamics, though not too large as to sound woolly. The sound quality on this disk is very good (why else would the Penguin Guide recommend it?). Not only that but the orchestra is well balanced and has a nice overall tone. No harsh stings that sound dry and brittle. It's such an easy disc to sit back and enjoy.

If, like me, you are unfamiliar with Elgar and don't like to experiment with relatively modern classical music, rest assured that this is quality music. I found the second movement (Larghetto) of the Serenade for String Orchestra most relaxing and involving.

There maybe better 'audiophile' discs of individual performances, but you'll need to find them and pay for them. Take the stress out of that search, save a bit of money and relax with great quality at an affordable price. There is nothing cheap in the production of this disc.

Excellent value.

The Enigma Grows... 13 Jan 2006
By Eric S. Kim - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
What can I say? This is a very good recording of three of Sir Edward Elgar's masterpieces. Maestro Sinopoli outdoes himself with the Enigma Variations: the tempi are almost accurate, the orchestra is in top form, and the beauty of the piece is taken further with the conductor's revisions. The Serenade for Strings is done perfectly, and the Cello Concerto is one heck of a barrel of emotions. Buy it and listen to it while driving to work/school/wherever you're going.
