ELGA PZ5/team/¥ E!£ ., R s

The announcement of the complete recording of Elgar's choral masterpiece is one of the most important happenings in the history of recorded music . The magnitude of the undertaking, and the difficulty of ensuring a performance that should be satisfactory from every point of view have hitherto proved too great. Now, however, with the co-operation of the British Council, " His Master's Voice" · are able to offer a recorded performance that is in accord with its highest traditions. These magnificent records are a tribute to the memory of the greatest English compost:C since the days of the Tudors, a man who, moreover, during his life fully recognised the role that the gramophone record was destined to play in the dissemination of the best in the art of music.
