EDWARD ELGAR
Elgar: Pomp and Circumstances Marches 1 - 5 / Overtures
Philharmonia & New Philharmonia Orchestra, Sir John Barbirolli
[ EMI Studio / CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday 10 February 2015
Symphonic liberation of the British Empire: In 1866 a German music scholar wrote that "the English are the only civilised nation without music". And it's true that the Victorians had a deep suspicion towards symphony music - some people even feared that its rousing emotional power would bring about the downfall of the British Empire! But the imperial tones of Edward Elgar's scores triggered a new trend: overwhelming pomp and circumstance.
