| |  | The Sketches of Edward ElgarCompleted & Orchestrated by Anthony Payne
Sapporo Symphony Orchestra, Tadaaki Otaka Copyright was fast running out and the manuscripts would be
free for all and sundry to tinker with come January 2005.Thus,
Elgar's heirs took the laudable and sensible decision of
commissioning Anthony Payne to complete an 'elaboration' of
the third Symphony in 1995.
A great success at the première at the Royal Festival Hall, London, in 1998, with the BBC Symphony
Orchestra under Andrew Davis's baton, the work has gone on to immense international acclaim and is
gradually assuming a well-deserved place in the symphonic repertoire of orchestras the world over.
William Reed, a long time companion of the composer, and the much-esteemed leader of the London
Symphony Orchestra, worked on the sketches for Pomp & Circumstance March No.6 on numerous occasions
with Elgar accompanying Reed's violin. It was to Reed that the terminally ill Elgar uttered the famous words,
"Don't let them tinker with it, Billy - burn it!" Billy Reed didn't consign the sketches to the bonfire, but it
wasn't until 2006 that Anthony Payne completed March No.6 in fine style.This is only the second recording. “Otaka and the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra need to lighten their plodding tread a little in the two Elgar works realised with ghost-like authenticity here by Anthony Payne. The Sapporo musicians play with precision and bright brasses but the Third Symphony wears thin for want of magic. The dancing scherzo lacks sensuousness. The finale becomes impatient through grinding, successive false endings.” The Times, 12th April 2008 *** |
