Title: Great Score - But Incomplete
Product review: Two of the most popular works by Sir Edward Elgar(1857-1934) arethe "Enigma Variations" (a theme followed by 14 variations -1-12 being musical sketches of his friends, the 13th for his wifewith the final variation depicting the composer himself) andthe 5 "Pomp And Circumstance" marches.I feel that Dover presents these works(in full score)in a way that is very clearly read and well presented.The only problem I have with this compilation of Elgar's works has to do with the omission of Pomp And Circumstance March No. 5 (in C Major). Where is it? No. 5's liveliness is sorely missing from this group of 5 marches that Elgar wrote for manyvarious occasions (not just for graduations).Regardless, I highly recommend buying this score collection.Enjoy the rich orchestration that Elgar uses in his various worksYou'll see why Elgar is described as the Englishman who was credited as being one of the last true Romantic composers.Was this review helpful to you?
