Chadwick reviews
Andrew Constantine conducts Chadwick's Symphonic Sketches and Elgar's Enigma Variations
George Chadwick, best known as a director of the New England Conservatory, was several years Elgar’s senior, and an enthusiast – with reservations – for his British colleague’s music. If Elgar became the quintessentially English composer, despite being in many ways an outsider to the establishment, Chadwick could lay claim to being soundly American, exploring a budding national style in the shadow of Dvořák’s New World Symphony.
