Vladimir Ashkenazy is nothing if not prolific. I’m not enough of an expert on Elgar to say this is among the greatest or among the worst, but it is nice to hear the Sydney Symphony in good form and to have an alternative view of Elgar’s Symphony. Unfortunately for fans of multichannel, this was about the time Exton started eschewing multichannel for stereo only.
