Elgar ‘Enigma Variations’ – Two Finales – Leonard Slatkin conducts

Leonard Slatkin conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra in Elgar’s “Enigma Variations” at the Henry Wood Proms in 1995. He preceded the performance with an illustrated discussion of the work and also included the original ending of the final variation. Elgar later extended this by adding about two more minutes of music and providing the ending with which we are all familiar.
