"From the time of the iconic 1932 photo on the steps of Abbey Road with the Composer himself, Menuhin became associated all his long life with performances and recordings of Elgar."(Murray) "Menuhin's aacount of the Variations...is the interpretation of a musician who has lived long with this music and loves it. He...has taken immense care (to) direct the listener's attention to yet another facet of the inexhaustibly fascinating score. Nothing 'routine' here, nor in the RPO's playing."
