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.

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

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