description
January 2026 marks the 75th anniversary of The Elgar Society, which has, since the late 1990s, offered its invaluable support to SOMM Recordings for new and archival releases of Elgar’s works. In celebration, SOMM is releasing this month Vol. 1 of Elgar from the Archives. The release offers “acoustic” recordings of Elgar’s Enigma Variations conducted by the composer in 1920 and by Sir Henry Wood in 1924. Also included—abridged, in order to fit onto the original disc sides—is a 1919 recording of Elgar’s Violin Sonata featuring the virtuoso, Marjorie Hayward, a fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, and the Australian pianist, Una Mabel Bourne. The London String Quartet, founded in 1908, is featured in an abridged version of Elgar’s String Quartet, which they recorded in 1921. Elgar’s recording of the Enigma Variations, the Violin Sonata, and the String Quartet are all remastered premiere recordings.
