Awards and reviews
May 2014
The main focus of this disc from Sir Mark Elder and the Hallé is an outstanding recording of the First Symphony, but I chose it here mainly because of the first-rate account of In the South. The central viola solo is tenderly performed, and as a bonus Christine Rice sings Canto Popolare, Elgar's own setting of the same viola tune to a text by Shelley.
