Edward William Elgar

“We've heard too little of McAslan on disc since she recorded these heart-warming performances for ASV in 1985 and a fine series for the now defunct Collins Classics. Glorious sound, faultless phrasing, ravishing pianissimos.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2006 ****

“Absolutely fascinating” The Gramophone

“The sound is hardly state-of-the-art, but it's clear, powerful and focused, with background hiss virtually eliminated… No one has conducted Elgar better than Elgar himself. The daringly fast tempos, the transparency of texture, flexibility of phrasing and sheer spring in the attack that he calls out of players he knew well, are the absolute benchmarks for how this music should be performed.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2006 *****
