From sunbursts to sorrow, discover an Elgar you might not expect.
Edward Gardner*
Beth Taylor mezzo-soprano
Elgar In the South (Alassio) (19’)
Elgar Sea Pictures (23’)
Elgar Sospiri (5’)
Elgar Enigma Variations (29’)
Edwardian gentleman, melancholy dreamer, wide-eyed romantic, orchestral showman: Britain’s greatest composer had many moods, and tonight Edward Gardner explores four of Elgar’s most personal (and most loved) masterpieces. From the musical sunburst of In the South to the deep sorrow of Sospiri and the windswept longing of Sea Pictures, this is an Elgar you might not expect. And if all you know of the Enigma Variations is the glorious ‘Nimrod’ – well, you’re about to make some new musical friends.
