Symphony no. 1 / “Pomp and Circumstance” Marches nos. 1 & 4
Album by Edward Elgar & Philharmonia Orchestra & Giuseppe Sinopoli
This album is a recorded collection of orchestral works by the English composer Edward Elgar, comprising pieces originally composed between 1901 and 1908. It presents late-Romantic orchestration—expansive symphonic structures, sweeping melodies and bold brass statements—and occupies a central place in Elgar's output as an artist who helped define British orchestral identity in the early 20th century.
