Sinopoli's stint with the Philharmonia so upset the Brits but IMHO there were some winners, including the enigma variations. A very, very grand finale gives me chills every time. The Nintendo rod is quite beautiful as well. A touch indulgent and inner voices unusually pronounced.Stokowski live with the Czech Phil is absolutely charming, not a boring moment throughout. The Nimrod is a bit Mahlerian.
Best recorded, likely the Mehta in LA. It's a very "clean" performance, IIRC. Tas listed.
I don't get the fuss over the Monteux, nor did Boult or Barbirolli do it for me.
PS--listening to Elgar's own was mind blowing. Talk about a fast Nimrod!
