I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Deryk Barker for recommending the
Elgar/Harrison recording.  I had avoided hearing Elgar's own recordings,
mostly because I want sonic opulence beyond what 78s provide.  But I
splurged on the Elgar set and am not sorry.  A conducting technician he
ain't, but he sure knows his own music.
