For the ballet, he orchestrated the piano score of Invitation to the Dance, transposing it from D-flat major to D major, being a more orchestrally manageable key and also producing a brighter sound. He called the ballet L'Invitation à la valse; as a result, the original piano work is sometimes referred to in English as "Invitation to the Waltz", but that is not its correct title. This production of the opera was first heard on 7 June 1841, but Berlioz's orchestration immediately took on a life of its own, separate from the opera for which it was intended. Berlioz himself frequently conducted his orchestration of Invitation to the Dance in concert.

Compton Mackenzie suggested that Elgar himself should play the piano for the recording, but the composer refused the invitation replying, "I never play the pianoforte - I scramble through things orchestrally in a way that would madden with envy all existing pianists". It was subsequently recorded electrically for HMV by Harriet Cohen and the Stratton Quartet at the beginning of October 1933, immediately before the composer became seriously ill. Test pressings were rushed to Elgar's bedside; the pleasure he gained from them inspired Fred Gaisberg to record the Quintet as a Christmas present to the ailing composer. The work took some years to establish itself in the repertoire, but in recent years it has been performed and recorded many times.

Jonathan Carr describes Elmendorff's 1928 recording of Tristan und Isolde as 'orchestrally exemplary' whilst also noting that although it was Toscanini was responsible for fully preparing Bayreuth Festival orchestra to achieve great things in the 1930 production of Tannhäuser, it was Elmendorff who (for contractual reasons) conducted the Bayreuth recording. Ernest Newman regarded Elmendorff's performance in the 1930 Ring as 'efficient rather than dazzling' - an opinion, noted by Frederic Spotts, as not uncommon. In August 1933 Walter Legge attended the Bayreuth Festival in his role as the music critic of the Manchester Guardian newspaper. As well as observing that the Wagner Festival had been transformed into a Hitler festival, with Mein Kampf displacing Mein Leben, Legge heaped scorn on the quality of the conducting which he considers a consequence of German musical protectionism.
