London Symphony & Philharmonia Orchestra, George Weldon George Weldon was conductor of the CBSO until 1951. On this release he is heard conducting
the LSO in performances of ‘In The South’ and ‘Sea Pictures’ made at Studio No.1 at Abbey Road
in 1953. Conductor and orchestra are joined by contralto Gladys Ripley for the song cycle. The
‘Enigma Variations’ was recorded in 1954 at the Kingsway Hall and produced by Walter Legge “Superb, astonishing performances from a most underrated conductor. Both orchestras play with non-stop intensity, with Glady's Ripley an exquisite soloist in Sea Pictures. Decent sound for its time.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Amanda Roocroft (soprano), Konrad Jarnot (baritone) & Reinild Mees (piano) “Konrad Jarnot is mesmerising in the opening slumber, and with noble tones from pianist Reinid Mills he makes Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'Sabbath Morning at Sea' more persuasive than I've ever heard it.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 **** “Here's another fresh slant on Elgar's masterly Sea Pictures, this time a most persuasive first recording employing a make voice… With this exemplary diction, unflustered poise and focused tone… Konrad Jarnot forges an instinctive alliance with the admirable Reinild Mees, who accompanies with stylish understanding. Amanda Roocroft... contributes very creditably...” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
