What a magnificent piece this is, especially in Bamert's performance on Chandos. Why on earth isn't it played more often?

Adrian Boult's personal choice for his last LP, I seem to remember.  I have the LP still.

I haven't listened to this in years. It's a beautiful work. Very much neglected.

BBC Proms take note !

Is this the one with the 5th symphony? My copy of the LP has long since been replaced by the CD. The Elegy has always been one of my favourite pieces - such a tender homage to Brahms.
