CD Reviews

Wonderful, moving
Christopher Hodge | Boston, USA | 05/03/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is an important historical document, and is a beautiful performance of two little-known works of Elgar. Anyone who is interested in the cultural changes brought on by the first World War should hear this disc.The performances are lovingly and reverantly done, and are well recorded."
What We Expect From Chandos
Simon R. Hughes | 10/15/2007
(1 out of 5 stars)

"I cannot agree too strongly with the previous reviewer who complains of the lack of texts with this release. This kind of shoddy documentation is what we have come to expect from Chandos. I bought this disc several years ago and trawl the Internet from time to time in search of the words to the Coronation Ode but so far to no avail. Chandos have no excuse as their author (A.C. Benson) died in 1925 so presumably all his works have long since entered the public domain."
