Elgar's complete sketches for the 3rd Symphony, exactly as the composer left them, are brought to life by pianist David Owen Norris, Robert Gibbs playing Reed's own violin and the BBCSO with a commentary from Anthony Payne.
"Elgar left 130 pages of sketches for his Third Symphony and they have haunted the composer, author and critic, Anthony Payne, ever since he first gained access to them back in 1972. Longstanding opinion was that the ideas for the symphony (which occupied Elgar during 1933, the last full year of his life) showed a sad waning of the composer's powers....over 50 musical examples, including the sketches for violin and piano that Elgar would play through on the piano with Billy Reed." Gramophone
