This is currently my favorite recording. No one else I've heard yet manages to capture the ecstatic splendor of the last few minutes the way this recording does. Who cares about highlighting the inner contrapuntal motions if it is at the cost of the gesture! Elgar has always seemed to me a composer whose orchestration was characteristically extremely thick and dense. Trying to play it too "clean" loses some of the Elgarian flavor!
Glazunov is absolutely terrible--far more boring than other nineteenth-century composers. Elgar, however, is sublime. I don't know how anyone can listen to Glazunov without falling asleep. He is mediocre among other Russian composers as well.
Such marvelous orchestration...and even more astonishing music.

Sinfonia muito bonita, certos trechos lembram a obra Variações

I think the same! Reminds me of the sea all the time❤
Boring. Bring me Glazunov.
