About
The great violinist Albert Sammons performed the Elgar Concerto with the composer over many years. However, they were each contracted to different record labels so in 1929 Sammons recorded the Concerto complete with the New Queen's Hall Orchestra conducted by Sir Henry Wood. Sixteen years earlier, in October 1916, Sammons and Wood made the first recording of the concerto in a version cut by Wood to fit on four sides of 78 rpm discs which Columbia released at the end of 1916. This recording has not been reproduced in any other form since its release in 1916, until now. Sammons's masterly technique is also displayed in his final Elgar recording – Salut d'amour which concludes this CD – but there are several other treasures on the same disc. SOMM is now filling in the gaps with recordings which have not been heard since their original release.
