Edward ElgarAbout
Although Falstaff is often treated merely comically, Elgar’s virtuosic tone poem presents him and Prince Hal with a psychological insight truly worthy of Shakespeare.
On these historic and thrillingly realized recordings, made between 1930 and 1932, there really is no match for the composer’s insight and instinctive way with his own works, especially when conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, of which he had been principal conductor from 1911 to 1913.
Contents:
Symphony No.1 in A flat, Op.55

Falstaff – Symphonic Study in C minor, Op.6

“Elgar’s recordings of his own music have come to be regarded as one of the great achievements of gramophone history.” MusicWeb International
