It's a long time since I've enjoyed a record so much on so many counts - performance, recording, presentation... and the music itself'. Music-making at the highest level of accomplishment.
'By any standards this is a major Elgar recording. I cannot recommend it too highly' (The Elgar Society Journal)'As ever the playing of the Nash Ensemble evinces consummate refinement and total dedication; their heartwarmingly eloquent reading communicates strongly ... No true Elgarian could fail to derive considerable satisfaction from such effortlessly idiomatic music-making' (Gramophone)'My top recommendation … would remain the Hyperion recording of the Nash Ensemble, also with Ian Brown, which combines high-calibre individual playing with all the requisite nostalgic resonances' (BBC Music Magazine)
