Performance NotesPremiere performance of Elgar's 'Carissima'.

'Carissima' was the first work of Elgar's to be recorded. Landon Ronald persuaded Elgar to conduct the work for a recording by the Gramophone Company, so that a recording would be available when the piece was first played publicly. It was dedicated to Winifred Stephens (Mrs Jeffrey Stephens), who was sister of the singer Muriel Foster and worked for the recording company.
