Solti conducts Elgar

on BBC Two England

Sir Georg Solti conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra leader RODNEY FRIEND in a performance of Elgar's Symphony No 2 in E flat
Elgar is sometimes regarded as the composer of jingoistic, ' Land of Hope and Glory ' music - often at the expense of his most significant works. Sir Georg Solti regards the Second Symphony as one of the great symphonies of this century.
Recorded at the Royal Festival Hall, London
Director BRIAN LARGE
