John BarbirolliAbout
His affection for this inexhaustible masterpiece shone through every performance of it he gave, as he gloried in the piquancy of the illustration of Elgar’s “friends pictured within” - and he liked to remind Michael Kennedy that the Variations and JB were born in the same year, 1899.
Elgar’s genius was to weld his series of vignettes into a large-scale composite portrait - of himself. This gift for writing a miniature which was a microcosm of a big work is illustrated also in the second (the exquisite Lullaby) of the Three Bavarian Dances, a previously unpublished take, recorded on 30 May 1947.
