The Legacy, Vol. 4 (1954–55)

Album by Edward Elgar & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Sir Adrian Boult

The Legacy, Vol. 4 (1954–55) is a compilation album of music by English composer Edward Elgar, drawn from recordings made in 1954 and 1955. The collection presents orchestral and choral works in a late-Romantic English style, with broad melodic lines, prominent string writing and formal structures typical of Elgar's later output, and it documents mid-20th-century approaches to his repertoire after the composer's death.
