Elgar recording acoustically.
Elgar and his musicians accompanying Beatrice Harrison, whose most famous recording (HMV B2470) was made in her garden, where she played the cello accompanied by nightingales.

Re: Elgar recording acoustically.
That's a lovely picture.
Beatrice Harrison also made the first recording of Elgar's Cello Concerto (or at least a truncated version of it) on HMV D541 and D545 in 1919 and 1920, which may well be what she is recording here.
Thanks for posting it, Epigramophone.

Thanks both for the photo and data. B2470 is also in my collection issued in Spain by Gramófono on AE1892:
