Sir Edward Elgar's majestic and beautiful 2nd Symphony has continued to grow on me to the point where it now is one of my favorites. An excellent disc couples the symphony with my other Elgar favorite, the overture In the South, inspired by a winter vacation he took with his family in the south of Italy.

Available for about $3 up from Import CDs and other sellers at Amazon .
