Abstract "This performance of Elgar's Enigma Variations forms an historic account of the first concert Sir Georg Solti conducted as Chief conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1979. It is also the first DVD release with Sir Georg Solti performing Elgar's Symphony No. 2. Solti, who prepared new works by listening to Elgar's own recordings, identified closely with his music. The virtuoso playing of the orchestra combined with his fresh, energetic approach make for an exciting, uplifting experience."--Publisher's site.
