2PD13 Sargent's Enigma
Sir Malcolm Sargent is remembered as a great choral conductor. Many of the older generation can recall him conducting vast choruses singing Handel, Mendelssohn or Coleridge Taylor in the Royal Albert Hall. His reputation as an orchestral conductor is marred by stories of his attitude towards the musicians in orchestras. However his recorded legacy, on this disc mainly with the London Symphony Orchestra, demonstrates a musical intellect at work. If he takes liberties then they are for justifiable musical reasons. The disc starts with a stately Overture to Handel's Messiah and closes with the Pastorale Symphony form the same work. Between these statements are his interpretations of Elgar's Enigma Variations ( a work he conducted often), a suite of dances from the dramatic music of Purcell arranged by Albert Coates, Holst's Perfect Fool Ballet Music and Coleridge Taylor's Othello Suite.
