Symphony no.1 in A-flat, op. 55

Album by Edward Elgar & Hallé Orchestra & James Judd

Symphony No. 1 in A-flat major, Op. 55 is the first symphony by English composer Edward Elgar, completed and premiered in 1908. The four-movement orchestral work blends late-Romantic harmonic language with sweeping, richly textured orchestration and signalled Elgar's arrival as a significant symphonic voice in early 20th-century British music.
