Edward Elgar - Elgar: Piano Quintet, String Quartet - Import CD

Edward Elgar

Description:

The most intelligent pianist of his generation. Elgar of Piers Lane!　Piano Quintet and String Quartet, two major chamber works Elgar composed during his stay at Brinkwells in West Sussex, before losing his creative drive following the death of his wife. The piano by the intelligent Piers Lane and the performance by the Australian Goldner String Quartet, an outstanding Australian talent, seem to bring to life the scenery Elgar saw at Brinkwells. The piano version of Elgar's last piece, "Meena," played by Piers Lane, is also infinitely beautiful.　The combination of Elgar's music with Edward Frampton's (1872-1923) "The South Downs near Eastbourne" used on the cover is also artistic.
