We used Enigma Variations for our 2019 marching band show, and we used this mvmt as a ballad. Brings tears to my eyes knowing I am graduating this year. And this song always floods my eyes and my heart with memories..

I can’t describe the feeling I feel when I hear this

I played this in a Concert Band way back in about 1981 and we played it at about 86 BPM (Beats Per Minute), much slower than this one. In the UA-cam "Settings" you can change the playback speed. I used "custom" at 0.85 speed.

This is recorded way too fast, sounds much better slower

[@pierrecerjat]

Beautiful, but I personally like it a tad slower...

[@louiszagar1270]

Good GOD! Who set the tempo on this recording? It destroyed the entire atmosphere of the piece. Elgar wrote this to express a great loss in his life and this sounds like a MARCH! I see others as well as I have noted the tempo. Nice arrangement (although a bit thin scoring wise) but it would really come to life MUCH MUCH slower. Check our the verson done by the Marine Band "Presiden'ts Own". Absolutely PERFECT tempo and interpretation. Sheesh.....Dr. Z (Lou)
