Music reviews of Elgar: Cello Concerto; Sea Pictures; Cockaigne Overture
Music Review: Legendary performances
Rating: 5 Stars
Quite simply, this is my top desert island disc. Despite better recording techniques, recent performances cannot come close to the controlled emotions and virtuosity of Baker and De Pre. I cannot imagine an Elgar lover who would not want to own this, and play it all the time!
Description of Elgar: Cello Concerto; Sea Pictures; Cockaigne Overture
This is rightly regarded as the finest recording of Elgar's attractive and elegiac Cello Concerto. It's held in almost irrationally high esteem in the UK, largely because of the universal affection for Jacqueline Du Pr?, the wife of Daniel Barenboim, whose early death from multiple sclerosis cut short what would have been a stellar career. This disc is equally noteworthy for Janet Baker's magnificent singing of the Sea Pictures, the composer's only orchestral song cycle. It's not Elgar's fault if the tune of the last song sounds like an excessively inflated version of "Hello, Dolly!" A classic then, even if neither work is a raging masterpiece. --David HurwitzElgar, Sir Edward CDs
