Daniel Barenboim conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Elgar's Nimrod from the Enigma Variations, opening the 1997 season at Carnegie Hall in tribute to Sir Georg Solti.

Shared as an evocative piece, and linked in jokes and tangents about the word Nimrod and pi's digits.

Interesting. In the UK, the word Nimrod is recognised (if at all) as a piece of classical music by the British composer Edward Elgar (from his work Enigma Variations) ▶ this video

This is sad news. I was trying to listen to some cello works and this (the music) popped into my recommendations. Not a huge Elgar fan but Nimrod and many of his pieces are very evocative. Hug your partner and children tonight. ▶ this video

Pi actually reminds me a bit of "Nimrod" from Elgar's Enigma variations. The opening is only one note off, and then many of the later sequences in pi have the same large jumps that Nimrod does. ▶ this video
