James Ehnes (violin) Philharmonia Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis Recorded live and at rehearsals at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London 17 and 20 May 2007 “Even before the review was in, a well-meaning soul placed this disc on my desk. This, my benefactor assured me, was not just “another Elgar” for the anniversary – it was something special. So it proves. Ehnes finds glowing tone and inspiration throughout in a beautiful yet penetrating reading. Will it displace my beloved Kennedy or Kang? Time will tell.” Gramophone Magazine “Not since Nigel Kennedy's 1997 remake with Sir Simon Rattle and the CBSO (EMI, 1/98) have I heard an account of the Elgar as thrillingly combustible, imaginative and involving as this. Davis's utterly unforced and ravishingly moving account of the entrancing Serenade makes a cherishable pendant.” Gramophone Magazine, Janurary 2008 “James Ehnes has a lovely ripe vibrato and an expressive openness that touches the heart from his first entry. It's when it comes to the balancing of confessional intimacy with symphonic purposefulness that I'm not so convinced. Ehnes does try to drive the music forward in places, but the impression is more of spurts of activity amidst long stretches of dreamy lyricism.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Camerata Wales, Owain Arwel Hughes Sir Edward Elgar once described the sensation of flying in an aeroplane to Frederick Delius: “There is a delightful feeling of elation in sailing through gold and silver clouds.
