Composer:
Edward Elgar

Conductor:
Richard Hickox

Background: Richard Hickox has an unparalleled record in his interpretations of British music. With this impeccable pedigree in British music, he now turns his attention to the music of Sir Edward Elgar. His Symphony No.2 in E flat major was sketched during 1910 and completed in full score in two months of intensive work at the beginning of 1911.

Elgar spent the last weeks of 1903 and the first of 1904 on holiday with his wife and daughter in Alassio, in the north-west Italian region of Liguria.There he completed In the South (Alassio), which he described as an attempt to capture 'the thoughts and sensations of one beautiful afternoon in the Vale of Andora'. Despite its designation of 'concert overture' the work has the dimensions of one of Strauss's shorter symphonic poems, its form resembling that of Strauss's Don Juan.
