London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Colin Davis, Sir Antonio Pappano, Felix Schmidt - Elgar: Symphonies Nos 1-3, Enigma Variations

Since the London Symphony Orchestra’s foundation in 1904, the music and spirit of Sir Edward Elgar have lived in the Orchestra’s blood. Elgar conducted the LSO during its very first 1904-5 season of concerts, and the Orchestra’s first Principal Conductor, Hans Richter, was a devoted champion of the composer’s music both at home and abroad.
