Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent if imperfect
It's hard not to like Elgar -- his music is tuneful, bombastic in all the right ways, and has an air of ceremony that somehow perfectly fits what British music should sound like. I guess it's just that Elgar defines "British" music.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Bargain of Elgar Masterworks and Forgotten Gems!

On the average, you are paying $2 a disc, as opposed to the seperate issues listed on Amazon that are going for about $20 in some instances.
What about the performances? I have many of these works already in my collection and most are digital ... Read More
