Says Oramo, [article deleted] Is this really new? It certainly seems consistent with the view of people like Michael Kennedy and other eminent Elgarians. I always thought of Elgar's music as "nervous," edgy, and discontent. I'd disagree with Oramo's view of Barbirolli as "operatic." On the other hand, I greatly admire Oramo's recordings and look forward to any Elgar he might release.
