Thanks in > advance. Sir Adrian Boult is your man. Amazon lists a number of Boult CDs of it, some of which may be the same performance, but he recorded it a number of times. I'd suggest the one which couples it with Holst's The Planets. I think these were Boult's last recordings of both. Incidentally, a Naxos CD of Elgar's piano music played by Ashley Wass includes the Enigma Variations. I'm a sucker for piano arrangements but this may also appeal to your primary interests.
