British Composers: Elgar Stanford & Parry / Var British Composers: Elgar Stanford & Parry / Var CD

If Elgar now dominates our view of British music in the period that bridges the 19th and 20th centuries, his contemporaries Charles Villers and Hubert Parry were distinguished and influential established figures in both composing and teaching. This collections showcases the lighter, if often wistful, side of Elgar's art - including the Serenade variety of orchestral and choral works by both.
