Enigma Variations

Album by Edward Elgar & Wiener Philharmoniker & Sir Georg Solti

Enigma Variations is a set of orchestral variations by English composer Edward Elgar, completed in 1899. The work, rooted in the late-Romantic orchestral tradition, features expressive melodies, contrasting characterful episodes and imaginative orchestration centred on a recurring concealed theme, and it occupies a pivotal place in Elgar's output as a composition that helped establish his international reputation.
