Gardner's Very Enjoyable Elgar 1st on Chandos




Gardner, like Handley, really has a feel for Elgar's swagger and "snap," much more so than the usual 20th C suspects, Boult, Davis and Barbirolli. But unlike Handley, Gardner also adequately plumbs the depths of the slow mov't, the last few minutes of which really got under my skin. Hauntingly beautiful. The most spectacular fireworks are reserved for the end of the 4th mov't which is just sensational.

Recorded in Walthamstow Assembly Hall.
