The Wand of Youth / Nursery Suite

Album by Edward Elgar & New Zealand Symphony Orchestra & James Judd

The Wand of Youth and the Nursery Suite are orchestral suites by English composer Edward Elgar, composed in 1907–08 and 1931 respectively. They have a pastoral quality and delicate orchestration that often evoke childhood themes, and they date from the middle to later part of Elgar's career when he reworked youthful sketches into orchestral form.
