About

Elgar on Glossa? And why not, when it brings together one of the UK's leading conducting talents, Martyn Brabbins with the committed advocacy of an orchestra rising superbly to the technical challenges of the First Symphony with both spontaneity and energy: the Flemish Radio Orchestra, who here make their second appearance on the label.

Brabbins is an ideal director to be at the helm of a work that sits comfortably in the Late Romantic European tradition of orchestral music and for marshalling the forces which can shed new light on a work from outside the grand performing practice of the British orchestras.

To accompany the First Symphony, conductor and orchestra have added an engaging rendition of the Prelude to The Kingdom, Elgar's oratorio, completed in 1906, two years before he finished his First Symphony: both mature statements from Britain's finest.
