Saluting an extraordinary composer-conductor relationship, this collection presents almost all Elgar’s major orchestral works and the Sea Pictures in the classic recordings made by Sir John Barbirolli towards the end of his life. Barbirolli began as an orchestral cellist, and played under Elgar’s baton in the première of the Cello Concerto. Encouraged by Elgar, he moved into conducting and made his mark with the composer’s Second Symphony in 1927. Elgar’s music was to remain a talisman for the rest of Barbirolli’s life.
