A special performance of a special piece. [DHa]

A 36-CD remastered box that restores (almost) all Boult’s mono legacy for the Warner umbrella of labels [JW]
Elgar & Adès: Violin Concerti (Ondine)
A thrusting, brilliant Elgar Concerto, informed by early recordings, and a great Adès [JW]

Well-played and recorded but I have reservations about some of the repertoire [GPu]

An excellent follow-up to these performers’ previous disc of orchestral anthems [JQ]
Elgar: Symphony No.1 (NDR Radiophilharmonie)
Another great take on Elgar’s First from a top German orchestra and their outgoing chief [PH]
Elgar: The Kingdom (Signum Classics)
