Sospiri: Music for Violin and Piano

Album by Edward Elgar & Lydia Mordkovitch & Julian Milford

Sospiri: Music for Violin and Piano is an arrangement of a short composition by English composer Edward Elgar, originally composed in 1914. The piece exemplifies a late-Romantic, elegiac character with lyrical, sombre melodies and rich harmonic language suited to intimate violin-and-piano performances, reflecting Elgar's turn to more introspective writing during the World War I period.
First released: 1998
