Of these, this album features the two works other than the Violin Sonata. The String Quartet—which Bernard Shaw praised as “the finest of its kind since Coriolanus”—is a work imbued with a whimsical melancholy throughout. That said, the folk-like atmosphere that emerges in the second movement is utterly captivating. The Piano Quintet is emotionally intense and a majestic masterpiece—truly magnificent. Unfortunately, however, Elgar lost his beloved wife in 1920 and, at the same time, lost his creative drive.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595551203617,"sku":"4945604537377","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604537377.jpg?v=1790481602","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604537377","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
