Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance Marches; Enigma Variations; Cockaigne Overture»rank: 2139from: EMI / Seraphim

The presence of the flute as the lead instrument on these selections has a soothing quality that moves the ear in an ideally subtle way, especially as it gives way to the more excited piano sonata pieces. Zoltán Kocsis's reading of 'Pathétique' is followed by Claudio Arrau's ...
