The reaction to the recording of Robert Walker's realisation of Elgar's Piano Concerto has been amazing. Gramophone magazine named it Editor's Choice. Michael Kennedy in The Sunday Telegraph wrote: " Walker...has spent years on working out what mught have been, and has been succesful in producing an Elgarian sound.' The Guardian said " Robert Walker's realisation for performance of the 'sketches drafts and recordings' for Elgar's Piano Concerto parallel Anthony Payne's successful elaboration for Elgar's Third Symphony. Walker's task has been less clear-cut, however, for the concerto that Elgar began in 1913 had to be pieced together from a much wider range of sources. The themes are authentic, but what seems to have been missing (except in the slow movement, which Elgar completed in a two piano version) is continuity, which Walker has imaginatively provided... Elgarians will want this disc.
