Total Playing Time: 70:04 Tracks 1 - 15 recorded 1971 Tracks 16 - 20 recorded 1977 Track 21 recorded 1963 The splendor and nobility of Elgar's art has a touching gravity about it, there as amid the snap and swagger of Pomp & Circumstance and the rambunctious nostalgia of the Cockaigne Overture. This is music of great beauty and great strength, but greater humanity.
