Whatever else may influence a composer's reputation, it is his music which brings
him to the attention of the wider public and wins him a place in their hearts. Each month, with
the kind assistance of Chandos Records, this site brings you a new excerpt from Elgar's
music - not the well known favourites such as Land of
Hope and Glory or Nimrod, but an excerpt
from one of his less well known works.
This month's excerpt, provided here in RealAudio format, is
from:
|
The Spirit of England
performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus
conducted by David Lloyd-Jones
Available on : CDLX 7172
|
Space and technical limitations allow us to include only a short extract which will be
changed at the beginning of each month. If you return to this site each month for the next one
hundred years, you may eventually hear the whole of Elgar's recorded output. Alternatively, if
you prefer not to wait, you can purchase this and other Chandos recordings at an advantageous price for Elgar Society
members, or from the
Elgar Birthplace Museum Shop.
Another chance to hear :
And in coming months :
The Elgar Society is grateful to Chandos
Records for permission to use excerpts from their recordings. You can
obtain details of the complete range of Chandos recordings from their website at
