Elgar Variations, with Vladimir Ashkenazy and OPO
The Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra welcomes back their good friend and Patron, Vladimir Ashkenazy, to conduct Elgar’s 'Enigma' Variations and the evergreens that precede it
When Edward Elgar started to improvise a little tune at his piano one day, considering how a group of his closest friends might play that tune, he created one of the greatest masterpieces of English music – a score both uplifting and resigned, humorous and profound.
Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts Elgar’s 'Enigma' Variations and the evergreens that precede it, including Strauss’s dashing and dreamy first horn concerto from their very own Solo Horn, Pip Eastop.
