A complete version of Edward Elgar's "Enigma Variations" (No. 1-8)
This new upload may seem a bit out of place next to my belcanto-orientated recent postings, but the piece in question is just too delightful to pass. Most of the description is taken from "allmusic.com", while my commentaries will be mostly my personal impressions of the variations. "At the end of an overlong day laden with teaching and other duties, Edward Elgar lit a cigar, sat at his piano and began idling over the keys. To amuse his wife, the composer began to improvise a tune and played it several times, turning each reprise into a caricature of the way one of their friends might have played it or of their personal characteristics. "I believe that you are doing something which has never been done before," exclaimed his wife". Thus, as the legend tells us, was born one of music's great works of original conception, and Elgar's greatest large-scale "hit": the Enigma Variations. The enigma is twofold: each of the 14 variations refers to a friend of Elgar's, who is depicted by the nature of the music, or by sonic imitation of laughs, vocal inflections, or quirks, or by more abstract allusions. The other enigma is the presence of a larger "unheard" theme which is never stated but which according to the composer is very well known. A third enigma formed, when I decided to upload the variations, as I am completely baffled about the identity of either the conductor or the orchestra. But getting back to the work itself, the work contains some most charming and interesting ...
Elgar: Portrait of a Composer (Ken Russell) Part 1/ 4
This biographical documentary was produced by the talented British film director Ken Russell and celebrates the life and work of one of Britain's greatest ever composers, Edward Elgar. Elgar's music is set against nostalgic film clips from the early decades of the 20th century with scenes of beautiful rural Worcestershire (which happens to my home County) where Elgar was born and composed most of his works. Long since forgotten and buried in the archives I discovered it recently and wanted to share it as it doesn't seem to be uploaded. The documentary was first shown in 1962 and was commission by Monitor, the BBC's arts series which ran from 1958 until 1965.

Elgar - Symphony No. 2 - (1/7)
Allegro vivace e nobilmente (1/2) Elgar's second symphony is such an amazing piece, and it could even be my favourite piece of classical music! I only heard it for the first time around three weeks ago, at the BBC Proms, with Vassily Sinaisky conducting. I instantly fell in love with this piece. They was so much joy, but then so much sorrow. I instantley brought this recording the next day. As well as paying tribute to Elgar in these videos, we also are paying respect to the fantastic conductor, Sir Edward Downes who died recently. He commited assisted suicide with his wife, Lady Joan Downes, in Switzerland, 10th July 2009. Rest in Peace. It is a fantastic performance! BBC Philharomic Sir Edward Downes.

Elgar "In the South" ('Alassio') - Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra
Elgar's Concert Overture "In the South" was inspired by a holiday in the Italian resort of Alassio in 1903. The bad weather he and his wife endured didn't prevent him from composing this brilliant symphonic tone-poem. It is superbly played here by the glorious Philadelphia Orchestra under its then Music Director, Riccardo Muti, in a 1986 radio broadcast.

Salut d'Amour, Op. 12 - Edward Elgar
Salut d'Amour (Love's Greeting), Op. 12 - Edward Elgar Orginally titled 'Liebesgruss', meaning the same but in German (because his wife could speak German), Edward Elgar wrote this wonderful and massively popular piece for his wife, Alice, as an engagement present. It was his first popular work, although it was the Enigma Variations that brought him to true fame. I've done my best to keep the sound quality high, but this isn't quite CD crisp, and high violin notes/the timbre of the piano are hard to keep strong.

Elgar - Enigma Variations, Op. 36 (1/-)
Edgar William Elgar (1857 - 1934) Movs. I & II from "Enigma Variations", Op. 36 Variations on an Original Theme for orchestra, Op. 36 ("Enigma"), commonly referred to as the "Enigma Variations", is a set of a theme and its fourteen variations written for orchestra by Edward Elgar in 1898--99. It is Elgar's best-known large-scale composition, for both the music itself and the enigmas behind it. Elgar dedicated the piece to "my friends pictured within", each variation being an affectionate portrayal of one of his circle of close acquaintances. Movement I: Theme (Andante) ---------------- The theme consists of two contrasting melodic fragments, with the first one being the main theme. The main theme is played by the first violins at the beginning. It is played for a second time, with a slightly different accompaniment, after the second melody has been introduced by the woodwinds. Both fragments are further developed in the following variations. The theme leads into Variation 1 without a pause. Movement II: CAE (L'istesso tempo) ---------------- Caroline Alice Elgar, Edward's wife. The variation contains repetitions of a four-note melodic fragment which Elgar reportedly whistled whenever arriving home to his wife; with a little imagination, something like "Dar-ling, I'm home"...

Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance Marches, No. 4
Something that desperately needs to be on Youtube. The fourth march greatly resembles the first. It appeared in A Clockwork Orange. The first eight bars of the march is played by the full orchestra with the melody played by the violas and upper woodwind. Both harps play from the beginning, while the cellos, double basses and timpani contribute a simple bass figure. The bass clarinet, contrabassoon, trombones and tuba are held "in reserve" for the repeat, when the first violins join the violas with the tune. There are subdued fanfares from the brass interrupted by little flourishes from the strings before the opening march is repeated. There is pause, then a little section which starts forcefully but quietens, leading into the Trio. The Trio follows the pattern of March No. 1, with the melody (in the subdominant key of C) played by clarinet, horn and violins. The violins start the Trio tune on the lowest note they can play, an "open" G-string, which gives a recognisable "twang" to this one note, and they are directed to play the passage "sul G" on the same string, for the sake of the tone-colour, and the accompaniment is from the harps, low strings and bassoons. The grand tune is repeated, as we expect, by the full orchestra; the opening march section returns; the grand tune is repeated again in the "home" key of G major; and the last word is had by a re-statement of the opening rhythmic patterns. The march prepares the audience for its end as surely as a train pulling ...

Edward Elgar : The Apostles ( Prologue)
Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) The Apostles Op. 49 (Die Apostel; Les Apôtres), oratorio for soloists, chorus and orchestra. First performance in 1903. "Prologue" (Chorus & Orchestra) The Blessed Virgin, The Angel Gabriel : Alison Hargan, soprano Mary Magdalene : Alfreda Hodgson, contralto St John : David Rendall, tenor St Peter : Bryn Terfel, bass Jesus : Stephen Roberts, bass Judas : Robert Lloyd, bass London Symphony Chorus London Symphony Orchestra Roderick Elms, organ Conducted by Richard Hickox The work is in two parts and seven sections, each played without a break. Words were selected by Elgar from the New Testament and Apocrypha. 1. (Part 1) "The Calling of the Apostles". The music begins just before dawn; the sun rises, and one by one the Apostles are chosen. 2. "By the Wayside". This depicts Jesus' teaching, and particularly evokes the Beatitudes. 3. "By the Sea of Galilee". Crossing the sea is incidental; Mary Magdalene is the focus here. After a stormy night scene, her conversion is portrayed, and the scene moves to Caesarea Philippi and Capernaum. The scene is followed by a choral epilogue, "Turn ye to the stronghold," added late in the composition of the piece. 4. (Part 2) "The Betrayal". Although it follows the Passion narrative, the section is chiefly concerned with the character and motivation of Judas. He is shown as trying to maneuver Jesus so that he is forced to show his divine power and establish his kingdom. The events of the trial and condemnation ...

Elgar - Enigma Variations, Op. 36 (5/-)
Edward William Elgar (1857-1934) Mov. X from "Enigma Variations", Op. 36 Variations on an Original Theme for orchestra, Op. 36 ("Enigma"), commonly referred to as the "Enigma Variations", is a set of a theme and its fourteen variations written for orchestra by Edward Elgar in 1898--99. It is Elgar's best-known large-scale composition, for both the music itself and the enigmas behind it. Elgar dedicated the piece to "my friends pictured within", each variation being an affectionate portrayal of one of his circle of close acquaintances. Movement X: Nimrod (Adagio) ---------------- Augustus J. Jaeger, Elgar's best friend. An attempt to capture what Elgar saw as Jaeger's noble character, it is also said that this variation depicts a night-time walk the two of them had, during which they discussed the slow movements of the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. The first eight bars resemble, and have been said to represent, the beginning of the second movement of Beethoven's Eighth Piano Sonata (Pathetique). The name of the variation punningly refers to an Old Testament patriarch described as a mighty hunter, the name Jaeger being German for hunter. This variation has become popular in its own right and is sometimes used at funerals, memorial services, and other solemn occasions. It is always played at the Cenotaph in London on Remembrance Sunday (the Sunday nearest to 11 November).

His unique talent was recognized soon, he was the winner of national cello contest only three years later. Being selected to play at the BBC Young Artist Concert Series in the same year, his extraordinary success has led him to continue his education as a student of Natalia Gutman. During the next 5 years (between 2002-2007) in Stuttgart and later in Moscow , besides being a student of Gutman, Benyamin had masterclasses with M. Rostropovich, David Geringas, Philippe Muller, Alexander Rudin and Anner Bylsma. Manchester Cello Festival, Adam Cello Festival & Contest which he was honoured with the Best Luigi Boccerini performer prize, Schleswig Holstein Music Festival, Oleg Kagan Music Festival and 36th International Istanbul Music Festival opening concert with Vienna Kammerphilarmonie orchestra under Drigent Claudius Traunfernnler, are the few important festivals he has been invited to. One of the most fascinating talent of our times Benyamin, is continuing his international career thorough concerts, with highly praised reception in every country he visits.

Nimrod from Enigma Variations (Elgar) Sir Malcolm Sargent
This is an extract from Beulah 2PD13 Sargent's Enigma available as a download at iTunes Visit www.eavb.co.uk Techie stuff; Recorded in London's Kingsway Hall January 5-7 1953. Producer John Culshaw, balance engineer Kenneth E Wilkinson. Digital remastering Simon Heyworth at www.superaudiomastering.com Sir Malcolm Sargent is remembered as a great choral conductor. Many of the older generation can recall him conducting vast choruses singing Handel, Mendelssohn or Coleridge Taylor in the Royal Albert Hall. His reputation as an orchestral conductor is marred by stories of his attitude towards the musicians in orchestras. However his recorded legacy, on this disc mainly with the London Symphony Orchestra, demonstrates a musical intellect at work. If he takes liberties then they are for justifiable musical reasons. The disc starts with a stately Overture to Handel's Messiah and closes with the Pastorale Symphony form the same work. Between these statements are his interpretations of Elgar's Enigma Variations (a work he conducted often), a suite of dances from the dramatic music of Purcell arranged by Albert Coates, Holst's Perfect Fool Ballet Music and Coleridge Taylor's Othello Suite. "Another welcome return, Sir Malclom Sargent's Enigma Variations with the London Symphony Orchestra, extrovert, well juddged and in Nimrod, noble, presented on a well transferred Beulah CD in company with Albert Coates' Purcell Suite and a menu of Handel, Holst and Coleridge-Taylor from some ...
