Enoch Arden was written in 1890 when its twenty-six-year-old composer was fast becoming the most talked about young musician in Central Europe. In ten years or so of intense activity he had managed to acquire two respectable conducting appointments (Meiningen and Munich Opera), to acquire a most formidable mentor in the person of Hans von Bulow and to turn out a dazzling succession of compositions – each one of which spoke the language of romantic tonality with an evermore singular Bavarian accent – culminating in the three most accomplished symphonic poems of his generation: Don Juan, Macbeth and Death and Transfiguration.
