Romantic Masterpieces

Elgar’s Enigma Variations are moving musical portraits of his family and closest friends, with an underlying mystery concerning the origin of the theme. Tchaikovsky’s enduring Fourth Symphony combines passages of majesty and nimble playfulness dedicated to his patron, Nadezhda von Meck. Tchaikovsky promised her that in this work she would find “an echo of your most intimate thoughts and emotions.”
Barber: Adagio for Strings
Elgar: Enigma Variations, op. 36
