Product Description

CD Description

When Elgar s popular part-song My Love Dwelt in a Northern Land was published in 1890, a ready market for such pieces had been established by the competition festival movement, itself fuelled by the enormous growth in the number of choirs. This wide-ranging selection features several of Elgar s finest songs, including his best-known work in the genre As Torrents in Summer, which boasts a memorable tune, the highly original and chromatic Owls, probably the strangest that Elgar ever set, and the ambitious and bitonal There is Sweet Music which the composer himself described as a clinker, and the best I have done .

5.0 out of 5 stars An Elgar Byway in Which His Genius is Revealed, 12 Jul 2009
By Graham (Worcestershire) - See all my reviews
Donald Hunt and the late Vernon Handley both recorded most, if not all, of Elgar's wonderful Part-Songs. Here on Naxos, as on Paul Spicer's Chandos disc, we have a selection.
These choral songs cover virtually the whole of Elgar's career. He was not really at his best when writing songs for the solo voice, but in those for chorus his genius is revealed over and over again. Such pieces as "There is Sweet Music", "Deep in My Soul, "As Torrents in Summer" and "My Love Dwelt in a Northern Land" linger long in the memory, and "Go,Song of Mine" is without doubt one of this great composer's many masterpieces.
Also included on this very well recorded collection is "Scenes from the Bavarian Highlands", which is perhaps better known in its orchestral version. These are settings of poems by Lady Elgar and are a happy momento of several holidays which the Elgar's spent in Bavaria in the 1890's. Happy music, full of good and memorable tunes.
As one would expect, Christopher Robinson secures superb singing from the Cambridge University Chamber Choir.
