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. |

London Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti Recorded: Kingsway Hall, London, December 1979 (op.50); February 1972 'Solti has grasped more firmly than any conductor of the work [Symphony No.1] since Elgar himself the two crucial matters; that the "motto" theme must always be given movement and lift for all its "nobilmente"; and that the varied metronomic pulses called for in the score must be drawn together through an expression of some terseness - the indulgences will take care of themselves ... Solti's record is a deeply moving experience ... Solti has given us above all an Elgar we can share with others.' Gramophone (August 1972) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
