How reverential is this? The irony is not lost in who’s playing what and with so much tenderness, care and d beauty… rare it is to witness such maturity … bravo Berliner philharmonic for your sincere talent and respect.

i dedicate this to my late father, who died on the 20th January 2024 age 91. He respected and enjoyed all of Elgars works, every Sunday without fail, he would take a random vinyl's and enjoy. god i miss him.....

Often conductors follow Elgar's tempo direction too faithfully, making it sound like a marching band piece. This performance gets the tempo just right :)

The story behind this is what makes it so powerful. Elgar, deep in darkness and falling out of love with music was visited by his German friend Jaeger. Somehow, and we dont know what was said, Jaeger resurrected Elgar's passion for melody and create this piece...in my opinion his most evocative. It speaks of his connection with the countryside surrounding his Malvern home, his love and respect for his friend but most of all the growing resiliance that comes from recovery. English, British, European but most of all human.

Merci pour cet éclaicissement. Thank you for this precious comment. Such moving music. So much English and universal as well. Undescribable the effect on the privileged people like me who had the opportunity to listen to it at the Albert Hall, in the presence of the Queen (August 1994).

We do know what was said. Elgar expressed his sense of failure but Jaeger, who worked for his music publisher Novello, encouraged him and the conversation turned to Beethoven. Jaeger hummed a theme from the adagio of the Pathetique and Elgar was enthused and continued composing. The Enigma variations were his first truly gigantic success (an echo of that theme can be heard in the Enigma theme) after which the floodgates opened. A year later, Gerontius was a huge international success. .

M'mmmm but are you sure, about that? I read of a far simpler reason ; Elgar was tinkling on the keys, searching for a theme, and played the opening bars of this, to be famous--music, and his wife called out, that's a nice one dear, a 'Keeper', and so he did.

Inspires a quiet admiration, like England. There's a silent dignity and greatness that doesn't require bravado or fake arrogance because you know you're truly great and no words, no actions will change that. That's England. Other countries scream how big they're, how mighty they think they're, the truly greats don't need to. elgar's music is about that subdued majesty that only england has, and for the record I'm not english.

Your comment applies so well, I think, to a previous England - one which is still there but which has recently shot itself in the foot and hidden the nicest parts of its character under a snarling hostility. I hope my England can find itself again before all is lost. These feelings inspired me to revisit Elgar, conducted by the magnificent Berliners and Simon Rattle.

Everett Cox I like how you distinguish the difference between good and evil. Naturalists and scholars haven't particularly concluded the origin of our ethics; well, there are muddled incoherent theories to it. Everett, how are we able to tell what is good and evil? Why was it wrong for God to drown civilization except the "old man and his family"? And if you're in favor of moral relativism, you contradicted yourself by making a moral judgement to a "fairy tale nonsense".
