Enigma Variations
Boise Philharmonic · Boise, Idaho

Artists
- Eric Garcia Conductor

- Boise Phil Youth Orchestra seniors Ensemble, Orchestra
Running time: about 1 h (estimate from the works' usual timings; not every piece has one)
Worth the drive: Elgar's set of orchestral variations portrays fourteen friends (and himself) through musical caricature, anchored by the beloved slow movement "Nimrod." The piece opens with a wistful, halting theme in G minor, quiet and searching, that will return transformed in each variation. More about Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, Op. 36 →
