The middle movement of Elgar's piano quintet.
In an appearance on the BBC's Radio 4 Desert Island Discs programme many years ago, the actress and director Sheila Hancock chose this piece because she said it would remind her of England. I didn't know this piece before, but I agree with Ms Hancock - unmistakeably "English", and very, very beautiful.
Edited comments by musicweb's Christopher Fifield (referring to a different ensemble's performance - the Sorrel Quartet on Chandos): The Piano Quintet also has the same air of melancholy as the quartet, stemming no doubt from his concurrent work on the cello concerto which was next to come, though it tends to more eerie moments - apparently a group of dead trees near the cottage affected Elgar when writing the piece in 1919, 'a ghastly sight in the evening'. The work is notable for its ebb and flow of rubato as well as its varied moods. The sublime Adagio drew the best music from Elgar.
The (rather random) images here are photos I took of parts England's Derbyshire Peak District, of York Minster and some of the City of York, and of London.

Thanks a lot for posting this!
What a lovely piece of music! The best I've ever heard by Elgar.
And congratulations for the photos - they capture very well the melancholy and pensive mood of the music.
