Special offer. Elgar: The Starlight Express
RecommendedElin Manahan Thomas (soprano), Roderick Williams (baritone) & Simon Callow (narrator)
Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis
While the lyrics tend to the arch or winsome, most of the music is vintage light Elgar, and beautifully performed...This is a very valuable addition to the Elgar discography. —

Superb repackaging of Elgar's earliest recordings, before he re-made many works electrically. Sound is limited, but the music-making wonderfully evokes a vanished era. —
