Info for Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Froissart, Elegy & Sospiri (Remastered)

Barbirolli was aged between 63 and 67 when he made these recordings and had only four more years to live after the latest sessions. He brought to his Elgar a lifetime of associations which included being amongst the earliest solo proponents of the Cello Concerto. He knew the composer and had his imprimatur as a result of conducting the Second Symphony in 1927. That these tapes were made in the 1960s when Elgar’s music still stood in the unwarrantedly mired reputation of imperial bombast is all the more remarkable.
