Daniel Barenboim with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, opening the 1997 season at Carnegie Hall in this gorgeously performed dedication to the recently deceased Sir Georg Solti. Solti was the previous music director of the CSO for many years.

What a beautiful tribute to such remarkable man, Sir Georg Solti, leader over CSO for many years...And to Daniel Barenboim with his compassion and CSO playing such a brillant memorable piece.

@leatherjohn, Can anyone hear this and not be moved to tears ? Its beauty transcends nationality. I am not English, and every time I hear this I get a lump in my throat, and the tears start to gather in my eyes. I wish I could conduct a world class orchestra playing this heavenly inspired piece. It must be one of the most wonderful experiences that anyone could ever have.

Bravo Daniel Barenboim and The Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Bravo ! Bravo !

Beautiful how Barenboim allows the deep basses to speak distinctly in the otherwise soft final chord.

Remind me again how someone dislikes this?

Solemnly beautiful. Elgar was the last of the true English romantic composers. This piece was used in Ken Burns' "The War" to stunning effect. It was the perfect expression of sorrow and solemnity in that film. Beautiful performance here. This ranks as one of my favorite pieces of English romantic classical music. Too bad Elgar came to recognition so late in his life, but glad he finally did. It was more than well deserved for such an eminent composer of his skill.

One of my all-time favorite classical pieces. Funny how so many people react to this piece, myself included. I feel the sorrow very very deeply, but I also hear a submission to hope throughout this entire piece. Delicate yet so full of raw transparent emotion. Music does much better than words when it comes to expressing some things.
