Sir Georg Solti - Elgar Symphony No_ 2 Enigma Variations

Product Description This DVD is the first audiovisual recording to feature Solti performing Elgar 2, and has never been released before. The Second Symphony is also a record of the first concert Solti conducted as the London Philharmonic's Chief Conductor in 1975. Review Again modelled on the composer's own surprisingly clipped and urgent reading, the Second Symphony benefits from virtuoso playing from the LPO. Fast tempi bring searing concentration, yet the nobilmente element is not missed and the account of the finale presents a true climax. The effect is magnificent. --Penguin Guide
