{{Main|Enigma Variations discography}}
There have been more than sixty recordings of the ''Variations'' since Elgar's first recording, made by the acoustic process in 1924. Elgar himself conducted the [[Royal Albert Hall|Royal Albert Hall Orchestra]] for its first electrical recording in 1926 on the [[His Master's Voice (British record label)|His Master's Voice]] label. That recording has been remastered for compact disc; the EMI CD couples it with Elgar's [[Violin Concerto (Elgar)|Violin Concerto]] conducted by the composer with [[Yehudi Menuhin]] as the soloist. Sixty years later, Menuhin took the baton to conduct the [[Royal Philharmonic Orchestra]] in the Variations for [[Philips Classics Records|Philips]], as a coupling to the Cello Concerto with [[Julian Lloyd Webber]].
