As others have said, it is so wonderful to see a genius like Elgar as a human-being. There is some similarly heart-warming footage of Rachmaninoff in the country with his family. I had the same reaction to both -- enormous pleasure, since I love the music of both (and, as a serious amateur pianist, I am just awestruck by Rachmaninoff as a pianist; I wish there were films of him at at the piano -- sadly, there are not).

I don't live in England at the moment either but I can understand how differently people are portrayed in different eras. This was turn of the 20th Century footage! It is very rare to see anyone behaving like that in England now.
I think the video is a gem and I'm grateful to have seen it. Thank you for posting it.

Unless you know who Elgar was and what period this has come from you won't understand. I am also British, I find sometimes people can be pretentious about elite music however this is simply a very old and rare document showing one of Britain's greatest composers as a living person and that is wonderful instead of actually looking at a statue or yet another black and white photograph.
