Charles Mackerras’s warm and voluble Elgar recordings bring one of the most stirring ‘Enigmas’ on record, a reflective yet resolute Cello Concerto and a disc of pieces of music inspired by childhood. A very young Bryn Terfel is a highlight on the ‘Starlight Express’ songs.
“We can safely add [Robert Cohen’s] name to a familiar rollcall, Du Pré (EMI) and Isserlis (Virgin) probably topmost. We can certainly add Mackerras’s to a select group of pre-eminent Enigmas: it is really special …Elgar’s immaculately judged textures are sifted with scrupulous care and illumination … The brass couldn’t be riper, and the organ wells up nicely in this impressively full and immediate Decca recording. No question, a star-turn among current Enigmas” Gramophone
“Mackerras captures the wistful charm of the quieter pieces (on CD2) very effectively, and spirits are high in the more robust items” Gramophone
