Elgar - Orchestral Miniatures

Search: Carissima
by: New Zealand Symphony Orchestra

Release Date July 31, 2006
Getting the right orchestral sound for Elgar is harder than it might seem. It is rare that a non-English orchestra does. The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, a marvelous group who seem to be making more recordings in recent years, does it well. They somehow get that Edwardian feel that American and especially Austro-German orchestras never quite manage. Listen, for instance, to the little string portamento at :40 of the 'Froissart Overture.' Marvelous. It's delicately done but still noticeable and precisely right. And they also don't overdo the trudging basses that can sound so heavy and heartless in less in-the-style orchestras. James Judd, of course, is a British conductor and that probably counts for a lot here.

Elgar - Piano Music

Search: Carissima
from: Naxos

Release Date September 04, 2006
As is well known, this quotation from Shelley appears over the score of the Second Symphony, and it's also appropriate to this utterly delightful disc.
Ashley Wass has already carved a niche for himself recording Bax and Bridge on Naxos, and on this disc he records both Elgar the miniaturist and the composer's own piano arrangement of the Enigma Variations.
He faces some stern competition: both Peter Pettinger (Chandos) and David Owen Norris (Elgar Editions) have recorded fine concerts of Elgar's music for piano, and I would not wish to be without either of them.
But this disc joins them as an equal: playing and recording are "out of the top drawer"; but, for me, the 'find' here is the Enigma for the piano. Surely it cannot really ... Read More:
