5.0 out of 5 stars 1928 cello concerto is timeless, 21 Oct 2009
By Mart Music (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Naxos have 3 CDs offering historical recordings from the 1920's and 30's of Elgar's works conducted by the composer himself. The year 2007 represented the 150th anniversary of Elgar's birth (in 1857) and these releases are a fitting way to celebrate this event.

The 3 discs are:

1) Symphony No. 1 (1930), Falstaff (1931/1932)

2) Symphony No. 2 (1927), Cello Concerto (1928)

3) Enigma Variations, Cockaigne Overture (1926-1933)

The sound quality is admirably restored by producer and audio engineer Mark Obert-Thorn, although don't expect it to be like today's standards for these are archive recordings originally recorded by HMV from an era before surround sound, SACD and stereo, so they are muddy mono recordings without vibrancy or depth.

Sound quality though is unimportant considering the conductor here is Sir Edward Elgar himself, at the age of 70 plus, directing the orchestra to play his music exactly as he wanted it to be heard. This is no interpretation of Elgar, this IS Elgar, and we are hearing the very essence of the composer breathing life into these works, lifting them with his baton and endorsing them with nostalgia and historical importance.

Better performances and recordings of all these works are available, but for an interpretation of his cello concerto this is a historical gem.
