What is it about Elgar that evokes such feelings of nostalgia? Is it anything more than the familiarity of his very British life – a man who worked in a solicitor’s office and psychiatric hospital in the West Midlands before turning to musical composition? It must be, for Elgar’s music is more than just England through an orchestra: it’s reflective of personal as well as national strivings, of individual as well as collective loss. In this concert we hear the gems by Elgar alongside those by other English greats including conductor-composer Carl Davis, Frederick Delius and William Walton.
