Magnificent performance! How Elgar does stir the soul.
@ 10.11 seconds is some of the most beautiful music ever heard. Glorious orchestration from the hands of an English master Sir Edward Elgar. Played so superbly by the LSO 🎶♥️👏👏👏
10:11, you luddite
Great orchestras such as the LSO deserve every penny we lucky “consumers” can afford-and more. They perform, promote and preserve a world of musical genius that otherwise would be forgotten in this age of crass materialism in which millions are dumped on often trashy transitory commercial rubbish forgotten tomorrow. I say this as one who has loved wonderful popular music for 70 years and recognizes genius in every form, folk, jazz, pop, musical theatre, opera, chamber and symphonic.
About time Simon Rattle conducted an Elgar Symphony! Having heard the Radio 3 concert broadcast, and as a lifelong Elgarian, I can honestly say that I found this performance to be one of the most perceptive, rhythmically alive and emotionally satisfying interpretations of this much-loved British Symphony I have heard for many years. This really should have been recorded - along with Elgar 1 - before Sir Simon leaves our shores. Yes, I know Colin Davis's much-loved recordings are good sellers but they're quite old now and we need new versions. I think the LSO have missed an important and vital opportunity here.
As mentioned in another comment, this was recorded, and will be available from Thursday on Marquee TV
It might be a good idea if Simon Rattle conducted this symphony a few more times before he commits a performance to disc - perhaps with the BRSO. I heard Colin Davis do the first symphony with the LSO and it was a bore, but his recorded live performance in Munich is one of the best.
@@karldelavigne8134 Some good points well made. As far as I'm aware, Simon Rattle has not made too much of a habit of conducting the Elgar Symphonies for some reason; probably because of the established Elgarian conductors like Boult, Barbirolli, Handley et al, that were alive whilst he made his early career repertoire choices. I do agree that the LSO Live/Colin Davis Elgar Symphonies are not amongst the best interpretations on disc - although they are good sellers, apparently - but the Dresden Elgar 1 surpasses those recordings. His Gerontius, also with the Dresden forces, far exceeds his LSO Live version in my humble opinion - I reviewed the Dresden CD on Amazon. Let's hope we can look forward to more Elgar with Sir Simon.
@@stevieb6368 Yes, of course that recording was in Dresden, not Munich. I suspect Rattle hasn't conducted the symphonies before because he wasn't totally convinced by them, or didn't feel ready. It's interesting that in his R3 interview he said that if Elgar had been born in central Europe he would have been Mahler, and that Mahler had planned to conduct Elgar 2 in his last season with the New York PO. That seems to be his key, and Mahler had studied the score of Gerontius too. Rattle had planned to do Gerontius again in Berlin, but it was cancelled due to Covid. As an aside, it's also interesting that he has recently performed two of VW's symphonies, also new to him I think.
@@karldelavigne8134 Yes. I've always avoided Rattle's CBSO Gerontius because John Mitchinson was well past his best. I seem to recall he did The Dream with the Vienna Phil at the Proms some years ago. Strange bedfellows there. Of course he did the Enigma and Falstaff with the CBSO as well, but avoided the symphonies. Great to see and read so many positive comments about this landmark concert performance. I'm looking forward to going down to the Barbican for Rattle's/LSO Mahler 7 next April. All the best.
👋👋👋~Thank. You~🌷
Great performance...!! please make whole performance available in someway.
The ‘Ernest Hall’ note was effective!
Thanks for the upload. It took me many years to appreciate Elgar’s two symphonies. Now, however I consider the First one of the greatest of all time and the glorious Second while perhaps not quite in the same league, is nevertheless without doubt the work of a musical genius
Kudos to tuba principal Ben Thomson for playing a B-flat tuba. The harmonics align better with the trombones vs. C tuba.
いい曲！
最後の方では、ワーグナーのオマージュを感じる。「トリスタンとイゾルデ」や「神々の黄昏」など。エルガーめ、ワグネリアンだな！？

Too bad there is only the fourth movement…
