Symphony no. 1 / In the South

Album by Edward Elgar & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Leonard Slatkin

Symphony No. 1 / In the South is a release pairing two orchestral works by English composer Edward Elgar, the symphony completed in 1908 and the tone poem completed in 1903. Musically it contrasts the expansive, late-Romantic symphonic architecture and rich orchestration of the symphony with the Mediterranean-inspired, programme-oriented orchestral colouring of the tone poem, reflecting Elgar's place in English late-Romantic orchestral writing and marking a significant phase in his orchestral output.
