A concert programme of works such as the ones captured live and featuring on this disc was familiar fare in the Beecham years.

Elgar: Enigma Variations – Elgar held Beecham in high regard as a conductor and knew and identified with his performances of his works. The Enigma Variations were of special significance to both Elgar and Beecham.
