When the Elgar Society planned a concert to mark the 50th anniversary of Elgar’s death, the London Philharmonic and conductor Vernon Handley were the natural choices. The First Symphony is one of Elgar’s finest works for orchestra – hailed after its première as ‘the greatest symphony of modern times’. Sea Pictures evokes contrasting images of the sea from five poems sung here by Dame Janet Baker, a peerless interpreter of the work. Handley’s rapport with Elgar’s music is clear in these performances recorded live at the anniversary concert.
