Symphony no. 2

Album by Edward Elgar & Staatskapelle Berlin & Daniel Barenboim

Symphony No. 2 is the second symphony by English composer Edward Elgar, completed in 1911. The work is sizeable and richly orchestrated, drawing on late-Romantic harmonic language with expansive themes, contrapuntal development and moments of introspective brooding, and it stands as a key work in Elgar's output and in early 20th-century British orchestral music.
