Elgar enigma/ Picture at an exhibition


I need some CD recommendations on both pieces of music

My son is playing in the local youth orchestra and the music director wants them to listen to the music before the rehearsal

thanks

Frogman, great story! Thank you for sharing it with us. I certainly understand what you mean about nuances that are pulled out by a sensitive conductor. The "spiciness" to which you refer is something I would enjoy hearing and will seek out a copy of the Gergiev performance to hear.

Many thanks.
Listen to Frogman, Rush! He is a marvellous performer and a great teacher, as well!
