A unique opportunity awaits those of us with an interest in historical performance, and Elgar's Cello Concerto in particular. SOMM's new release this month makes available on a four-CD set, valuable pressings from Sir Edward Elgar's personal library. It contains hitherto unheard discs – virtually the complete 1928 studio sessions of the Cello Concerto with Beatrice Harrison as well as many unused takes of major orchestral works and famous miniatures. This veritable Aladdin's Chest belongs to Arthur Reynolds, Chairman of the North American Branch of the Elgar Society and a keen collector of many original Elgar recordings and photographs.
