    • Cello Concerto (1919) It’s often said that the cello is the instrument that most closely imitates the human voice. Whoever said it first, surely must have just heard Elgar’s Cello Concerto.
    • Enigma Variations – includes ‘Nimrod’ (1898-99) Over the years, historians and musicologists have wrestled to solve Elgar’s ‘Enigma’ – a musical mystery that the composer claimed to have hidden deep in the heart of his Enigma Variations.

    • Violin Concerto (1909-10) Elgar composed his Violin Concerto for Fritz Kreisler, one of the all-time great violinists. Even Elgar, ever the self-critic, thought highly of it.
