The chamber score

Nimrod, from Enigma Variations

Edward Elgar · 1899

Civic grief, in a tune the country cannot retire.

An original chamber arrangement in the climate of the work. The recording is not a copy. It is the room answering.

Why it is here

Foster's concert halls, part of the regeneration of the Tyne.
