Elgar: Enigmavariationerna

Enjoy Edward Elgar’s beloved Enigma Variations, a series of portraits of the composer’s friends and loved ones, variations on the same musical theme. The work ranges from playful charm to a more ceremonious and noble style, such as in the renowned Variation No. 9, Nimrod. The piece reveals Elgar’s deep ability to evoke character and emotion in his music.

With Nikolaj Znaider’s dazzling artistry at the podium, we have an unforgettable experience of humour, passion and emotional depth together with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.

The concert was recorded in the The Gothenburg Concert Hall in March 2026.
