Spirit and Place. A made-in-America company might bring more rhythmic pizazz to Calendar; none but the Royal could evoke the special virtues of Enigma Variations. Based on the orchestral score by Sir Edward Elgar, the work is a nostalgic visualization of a half-remembered spirit and place: green and pleasant England at the end of Victoria's reign.
