Disc No: AV 2129 (2CD)
Price: Sek. 215 A tribute to Elgar’s 150th birthday (2007), David Owen Norris and The Works perform Elgar’s songs and piano solos on Elgar’s own 1844 Broadwood piano, including the world-premiere of his unpublished final song XTC, set to his own words. In all, this 2-CD set presents 32 of Elgar’s finest songs for voice and piano, including a number never recorded before, and premiere recordings of Elgar’s piano arrangements of the theme of the Cello Concerto, and the Prelude and Angel’s Farewell from Gerontius which, like Sea Pictures (sung here in its original soprano key) and the Woodland Interlude from Caractacus, were all composed at this piano.
