In 1914, with the outbreak of World War I, Elgar was overcome with grief; the music he composed that year reflects both sorrow and a deep sense of patriotism. For example, “Carillon” is a piece in praise of Belgium, an ally, while “Polonaise” is a piece in praise of Poland. Chopin’s Nocturne is effectively incorporated into the piece, expressing Elgar’s affection for Poland. On the other hand, “Sigh,” composed before the war, is an introspective adagio described as “beautiful as a breath of peace in a chaotic world.” Each piece is imbued with Elgar’s spirit of prayer and his message.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Polonia, Op. 76\u003cbr\u003e2.Carillon, for speaker \u0026amp; orchestra, Op. 75\u003cbr\u003e3.Sospiri, Op. 70\u003cbr\u003e4.Une Voix dans le Desert, for speaker, soprano \u0026amp; orchestra, Op. 77\u003cbr\u003e5.Carissima\u003cbr\u003e6.Le Drapeau Belge, for speaker \u0026amp; orchestra, Op. 79\u003cbr\u003e7.Rosemary\u003cbr\u003e8.The Sanguine Fan, Op. 81\u003cbr\u003e9.Sursum Corda, Op. 11\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Somm Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525296578849,"sku":"4589538734466","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538734466.jpg?v=1789730706","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538734466","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
