  • It is ironic that Clough's poem should have been appropriated for an advertisement by a bank, and a Swiss-based bank at that, given that it was originally intended to give inspiration to the reformists, liberals and revolutionaries who had suffered numerous setbacks in the years up to 1849, when it was first published.

  • A truly superb rendering of exquisite verse by one of the very greatest exponents of the art.  What a marvellous voice. Sublime.

  • @eponinelee Thanks. I shall be listening to that soon, I hope.

  • I love the crescendoing Elgar "Enigma" Nimrod in the background!!!

  • One of few adverts that I can say is ART. Scofield was a master.

  • Paul Scofield truly was a man for all seasons.

  • @jthweatt Thank you for your answer

  • @ICHGROLLENICHT2 Hello. Yes, it is by Elgar. The piece is called "Nimrod," and it comes from the suite "Enigma Variations."

  • Alguien puede decirme qué pieza musical suena de fondo?

    Elgar?

  • dude thank you so much, love scofield's voice
