Details
[Edit]First performed in 1899, the so-called Enigma Variations have become the signature composition of iconic British composer Edward Elgar, whose music forms a stirring annual conclusion to the Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Dedicated to “my friends pictured within”, each variation paints a musical portrait of one of the composer’s friends, including his wife, Alice, and Elgar himself. The London Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of the great Sir Colin Davis, bring their renowned string sound to this recording, giving a particularly inspired account of the most famous variation, the beautiful “Nimrod”.
