A collection of movies taken of the composer Edward Elgar towards the end of his life. The films feature his daughter Carice and Elgars two dogs: Marco, a spaniel, and Mina, a Cairn terrier.
Also featured in the films are Billy Reed, Ivor Atkins and other friends closely associated with Elgar.
The short musical extracts are as follows:
Violin Concerto (Menuhin and Elgar)
Serenade for strings (Barbirolli)
Introduction and Allegro (Barbirolli)
Symphony no.2 (Boult)
Ave Verum Corpus (Neil Taylor with Sheffield Cathedral Choir)
(OK ... enough already with the dogs ..... !!)

Looks like there's three dogs, not just the two named ones, Marco and Mina. Anybody know the name of the third? They all look friendly.
