Excerpt:Sonata No. 1 in G Major -II. Allegretto

Sir Edward Elgar began his career as an organist. Heard here in its entirety.Elgar's relatively small output for the instrument bears all the hallmarks of his unmistakable style: nobility, wistful cantinela, brilliant colors - captured by John Butt at the organ of King's College Chapel, Cambridge.
"A formidable talent and a splendid instinct for that most problematic of instruments, the organ"
