Reviews

“

Performance: ***** Recording: **** ‘This is the most impressive of Davis’ three recent LSO Elgar recordings…Strongly recommended, even to those who already have an Elgar 3 on disc.’

- BBC Music Magazine, Top Ten Discs of the Decade
“

'Not only do Davis and his excellent band distil a remarkable level of concentration in this nobly defiant, dark hued essay, they also locate a heartache and intimacy that touch to the very marrow.'

- Gramophone
“

'Totally compelling from first note to last ... Davis wrings out even more feeling than his predecessors.'

- The Elgar Society Journal
