Symphony no. 2 in E‐flat, op. 63

Album by Edward Elgar & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Bryden Thomson

Symphony No. 2 in E-flat, Op. 63 is the second symphony by English composer Edward Elgar, completed and premiered in 1911. The work is a late-Romantic orchestral symphony characterised by expansive melodies, rich orchestration and a more introspective, turbulent harmonic palette, reflecting a transitional phase in Elgar's career and developments in early 20th-century British symphonic writing.
First released: 1986
