Symphony no. 1 / Cockaigne Overture

Album by Edward Elgar & London Symphony Orchestra & Charles Mackerras

Symphony No. 1 and the Cockaigne Overture are orchestral works by English composer Edward Elgar, composed in 1908 and 1901 respectively. The symphony is a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral work with broad melodies and rich orchestration, while the overture is a spirited, urbane tone piece that charts Elgar's development from descriptive overture writing to mature symphonic form.
