Sir Edward William Elgar, 1st Baronet, OM, GCVO (/ ˈ ɛ l ɡ ɑːr / ⓘ; 2 June 1857 – 23 February 1934) was an English composer, many of whose works have entered the British and international classical concert repertoire.
Elgar’s acoustic recording presents the Second Symphony uncut and what stands out more than anything else is the sheer energy in this performance. Indeed, at times in the first movement Elgar whips up some of the faster music in the way that a jockey would encourage a thoroughbred in Elgar’s beloved sport of racing.

Richter had a very high opinion of the work, describing it as “the greatest symphony of modern times, written by the greatest modern composer, and not just in this country”.
