About Enigma Variations with Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra

Elgar Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36, ‘Enigma’
Alban Gerhardt cello

Marios Papadopoulos conductor
When Edward Elgar started to improvise a little tune at his piano one day, considering how a group of his closest friends might play that tune, he gave birth to one of the greatest masterpieces of English music.
The ‘Enigma’ variations are uplifting and resigned, humorous and profound. Elgar’s dazzling, virtuosic orchestral showpiece comes after his acerbic, embittered and sorrowful Cello Concerto written in less happy times and the rediscovered gem that is Morfydd Llwyn Owen’s sumptuous Nocturne.
