This Elgar recording brings together some of the finest British artists from the Chandos roster for the first time. The highly praised Doric String Quartet joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Edward Gardner on the Introduction and Allegro, one of Elgar’s masterpieces. Gardner here captures the subtle contrast between the solo quartet and the string ensemble, while also reconciling a wide variety of musical ideas and tempo fluctuations. The full orchestra then presents a passionate account of the majestic and beloved Symphony No. 1.
