Enigma-Variaties Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest

Each of the fourteen parts—one lovingly teasing, the other intimate and glowing—is a portrait in itself; together, they form a magnificent ode to friendship. Film composers such as John Williams have gladly drawn inspiration from it when writing their musical character sketches, from ET and Indiana Jones to Luke and Darth Vader.
