Unhappy with London, where they had settled after their marriage, Elgar and his wife returned to Malvern in 1891. Having settled into a comfortable home, they led a happy life, and Elgar experienced the most creative period of his life. The high point of his activity was, after ten years, a piece called Enigma Variations (or "Variations on an Original Theme") Op. 36.
His circle of friends had expanded. Those who served as models for the musical portraits that make up the Enigma Variations were part of his immediate circle: together they played chamber music, golf, went on vacation, rode bicycles or went fox hunting. The idea for the Variations came to Elgar by chance one evening in October 1898. His cantata Caractacus had just been performed at the Leeds Festival, and he was sitting at the piano, tapping out a melody without thinking about much: his wife asked him what he was playing; "nothing," he replied, "but perhaps something might come of it. To amuse her, he launched into an improvisation, trying to caricature some of his friends as he went along: "Here is Powell at the piano" he said, imitating the way this friend, a member of the same trio as himself, was carried away by passion when he played. It was then the turn of the cellist "Billy" Baker, a noisy and somewhat boastful character.
The process of variation is indeed as old as music itself, but no musician had ever used it to depict, by making the same theme undergo successive transformations, the characters of human beings very different from each other. In its simplicity, this idea was to produce wonderful effects. Some time later, Elgar explained his intentions in a letter to his regular confidant, August Jaeger, a German employed at a London music publishing house, Novello:
"I have sketched out a series of variations (...) on an original theme: this work has amused me because I have given them as titles the nicknames I have chosen for some of my friends - yours is Nimrod, I have written each of the variations with the intention of representing the character of the individuals who have served as my models; my procedure has been to imagine the variation as I think they themselves would have written it - if they had been foolish enough to engage in such an exercise. It's an odd idea, the result will be fun for those who are in the know and won't affect those who are not. What do you think?"
He worked very quickly and immediately began to judge the effect of his findings by playing them on the piano to his various friends. The orchestral score was completed in February 1899. At the premiere in London in June, the work was an immense success with the English public, which was to prove long-lasting. Click to activate the English subtitles for the presentation (00:00-03:33)

Enjoy the tears.

The version I listened to many times in the 1960/70s .... I believe it has never been surpassed
With the Barbirolli version :)
@@classicalmusicreference And Jochum!
Thank you very much for sharing this priceless gem. The music is extremely sublime, and the LSO under Monteux was clearly on its top form.
Classic performance of the Enigma. I've owned it in its various incarnations for decades.
What a performance! Monteux has excelled in this recording.
Feel like fllying
aux sources de la terre,
Thank you.
🧘♀️🎓🕯⏳💃

This is
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
🙏💜🙏

J'aime beaucoup cette musique. Merci de ns l'avoir transmise. Bon week-end à vs tous et meilleures salutations de Montréal, Qc, Canada
❤️🙏❤️
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gift of beauty!!!! Bravo!!! ❤❤❤👋👋👋👋👋👋
The greatest recording of Enigma Variations.
Many thanks to you for posting.
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und melodisch komponierten Variationen mit farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
This Ìs a great gift for Elgar lovers
This music must be slowly deciphered, like the enigma it is: melody by melody.
A great performance. My favourite is Colin Davis with Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
Most beautiful.
Peerless Pierre ❤️
Just a question: In the picture it says London Philharmonic Orchestra. In the title below it indicates London Symphony Orchestra. Monteux was Chief conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra for a number of years. Any clarification will be appreciated.
Thanks.
London Symphony Orchestra (not London Philharmonic Orchestra)
Agrego que la orquesta independiente de su denominación, Sinfónica. Sinfofilarmonica o Filarmonica en su constitución no tienen ninguna diferencia.
@@alfredoechevarrieta7512 London Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra are two different orchestras.
Hora Ganescu. Estimado Señor, mi comentario queda fuera de lugar. Por favor acepte mi disculpa. Que esté Usted esté bien y mi respeto.
@@alfredoechevarrieta7512 Dear Sir, no problem, never mind and don't mention it... The most important thing is that we highly enjoy classical music (classical music is my hobby)... Classical music is the most beautiful art... Kindest regards! All the best! Yours sincerely, Horia Ganescu, Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
@@horiaganescu3948 Señor, comparto su sentir en el gran milagro que es el Arte en la Condición Humana. Nuevamente a Usted mi respeto.

Super!The 1st track reminds me "Matrix" soundrack???
:)
its London Symphony, so why London Phil on header? Oh dear
Monteau excels all non-British (and most native) conductors in this work. Bernstein ruined it.
