Amazing and quite prickly music! But the players get it! In 1925, The National Gramophonic Society invited Elgar to record his Introduction and Allegro for String Orchestra and String Quartet, but Elgar was exclusively contracted to HMV. The recording was made by John Barbirolli, and Elgar wrote a long, slightly tongue in cheek review for Compton Mackenzie of the records when they arrived with Elgar. Barbirolli remade the work for HMV in I believe 1928, and you have transferred this superb recording not so long ago. These historic recordings show us things that no number of words could adequately explain. Thanks and best wishes from George.

I appreciate how the musicians convey this quicksilver & rather mysterious work with collective skill. Thanks VS.
Fascinating music, very convincingly performed. Thank you!
@@jpknijff Thank you.
Very nice, with Barbirolli on cello 😮
@@violinistoftaupo Certainly good to hear him as a 'cellist.
As I did not know 'Jack' about this composer, thank you for supplying just the lantern I needed to have his work revealed to me.
@@MJSpangle Thanks!
@@vintagesounds3878 You are very welcome, good sir!

@georgejohnson1498 Thanks George. "Prickly" is a good word!
