" tempos as heard on Elgar's own recordings"
I always wonder with pre-tape era recordings how much the physical limitation on the maximum recording length of a side affected the choice of tempi.
Having listened to the Gardner today I too find it recommendable (but what do I know?). Very enthusiastic review in this month's Gramophone as well (not that that counts for much around these parts). I think the most important part of that review was recognising that Gardner is developing into an important talent.
