It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Halle recording


I once had the original recording with the Halle. Barbirolli's interpretation was good, but the Halle strings sounded mighty thin. Maybe they've processed the audio to fill out the strings.

I have a 1962 Barbirolli conducting this piece with the Philharmonia. It's a live recording. I liked it better.

Thing is, I'm not crazy about Elgar. I know the Brits love him, and I know there are folks on this board who like his music, but he just doesn't ring my bell. So I'm surely not going to invest in a $20 retread of music I'm not loving to begin with.
