I wasn't familiar with this work until lately and I must agree with the approach of this work with this orchestra. Imagine a Russian Orchestra doing the best justice to and English composers work...who would have thought.....I loved it

[@amielschotz4982]

Probably the best, most passionate, yet most precise playing of this masterpiece, certainly on TH-cam I have ever listened to and watched. It surely benefits from a conductor, who can offer tiny subtleties of timing hard for a conductor less ensemble to achieve.. Elgar here achieved such an incredible combination of classical concerto gross o elements with grandeur, energetic power and sweep, with yearning emotion, this has to be at the very apex of great composition of any period, and the playing meets the stupendous technical challenges. Bravo!

This is superbly recorded and played. The piece can sometimes sound 'mushy' and is too frequently trivialized by our British ensembles.

[@amielschotz4982]

I think this is the best TH-cam recording of this music of genius. The presence of a conductor creates tiny subtleties of tempo and intonation denied a group with no conductor.

This is the most beautiful piece by Elgar in my view. There is a section that is like fireworks exploding with the various string sections all going off one after the other. For me, it brings vivid pictures to my mind of the beauty of the Malvern hills, with that sublime theme like the view over the countryside below after a long hard climb. Beautifully played, with such passion and love.

Exceptionally good. What a delight. All those young musicians playing their hearts out.

Amazing performance. That viola solo by Alexander at

Unbelievably good playing (for anybody) from what appears to be a chamber orchestra with a 20-yr median age. Simply remarkable. Congratulations and thank you.

This has long been one of my favorite Elgar compositions. The contrast and combining of the lyric and energetic is done superbly. Thank you for making the performance accessible to me in your video whenever I wish.

Yes, that's the wonder: they're so YOUNG. I think that both John Barbirolli and Benjamin Britten might rise to their feet to call, "Bravo!"
