Salut d'Amour (Love's Greeting), Op. 12 - Edward Elgar

Orginally titled 'Liebesgruss', meaning the same but in German (because his wife could speak German), Edward Elgar wrote this wonderful and massively popular piece for his wife, Alice, as an engagement present. It was his first popular work, although it was the Enigma Variations that brought him to true fame.

I've done my best to keep the sound quality high, but this isn't quite CD crisp, and high violin notes/the timbre of the piano are hard to keep strong.

  • I must know who's the violinist.

  • Whenever I hear Elgar's "Salut d'Amour" I always, always think of peaceful, tranquil pastoral scenes of the beautiful green lushness of the glorious countryside of England. I am lucky to live right in the middle of it here in Herefordshire.

  • i know nothing about music, but i love it. this is so very beautiful

  • Absolutely, and it would give the music a much warmer sound, in all it's simplicity, this has to be one of the most expressive songs of love, moreover becuase it came from the composer's heart. When he and Lady Alice married, they were committed to each other and remained so until her death in 1920.
