| Naxos | Edward Elgar was already forty-two when the 'Enigma' Variations, a series of musical portraits of his friends, brought him national recognition. To maintain his family he spent much of his early life as a teacher, freelance musician, and a conductor of amateur choirs and orchestras. With this success he was able to devote his time to composition, and in the twenty years that followed Enigma, produced a considerable amount of new works. It included two symphonies, violin and cello concertos, a series of fine oratorios, and a number of patriotic works, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches. Then at the height of his popular acclaim he fell silent, and though there were rumours of a Third Symphony, no large-scale work emerged in the last 15 years of his life. From the sketches found after his death, the British musicologist and composer, Anthony Payne, has been able to construct a performing version of that Third symphony. The result was hailed as an outstanding success when it received its first performance in 1998 |
