In Reply to: Thanks, jdaniel - I was wondering about that recording posted by Chris from Lafayette on April 24, 2017 at 00:33:09:
in 1st movt- Elgar's delicate orchestration is worth a linger-but others think it's too deconstructed. I've not heard Sinopoli's Elgar 2nd but Sinopoli's pacing and vivisection gave British critics the vapors. His pacing of the Finale to the Enigma Variations is unforgettable, IMHO and luckily the Philharmonia was up to the challenge and keeps the energy and weight going right to the end.
I've also listened to the famous Solti Elgar 1st a few times but register the same complaints I usually do about the conductor==too fast, too surface sheen, though I get the point about his wanting to shake the dust off Elgar. The composer's own recording is quick!
