These excellent recordings were first issued on two separate IMP discs, the Enigma Variations coupled with Richard Strauss' Symphonia Domestica (here on MIMIC in one of Davide's megaposts coupled with Also sprach Zarathustra) and Introduction and Allegro and Falstaff with Elgar's transcription of a Bach Fantasy and Fugue (nowhere currently available as far as I know).
