About

Edward Elgar’s Cockaigne Overture portrays London at the turn of the 20th century as a pulsating world metropolis. Cheerful and colourful, it takes the listener on a stroll through the hustle and bustle of the city. Premiered in Manchester in 1908, Elgar’s Symphony no.1 quickly found its way into the concert repertoire. His second and final symphony followed three years later.

This is the second album from Alexander Soddy and the Mannheim National Theatre Orchestra, produced in cooperation with the Musikalische Akademie Mannheim.

‘This live performance is excellent, with bags of visceral excitement and exotic atmosphere.’ – MusicWeb International (Messiaen: Turangalîla-Symphonie, OC472)
