Elgar conducting Pomp and Circumstance March no.1

Thank you so much for this video I used for my playlist "COMPOSERS PLAY THEMSELVES" along with 65 other videos by 65 different composers !

I can see how this music can give one a sense of pride in being British without being jingoistic, or whatever. Great music!

@dantheman1432 : and there is a hint of the jingoistic in this !

@3NUNS : err.........i meant to say 'I feel so British' in an entirely non-europhobic, non-aggressively patriotic context........

If thats at all possible, dunno, ive just lost myself there........

My comment was in response to your comment on Elgar's conducting. And bugger the European Union and bugger Harold Macmillan for demolishing the Empire. There would be no Robert Mugabe but more importantly none of his victims.

One of your hobbies is social engineering is it ? Wouldn't it be social engineering spotting as in train spotting ? May I suggest that if you are passing a good university, pop in and check out a paper in the journal TOTALITARIAN MOVEMENTS AND POLITICAL RELIGIONS and consult Vol. 5, No. 3, Winter 2004, pp. 291-325 ; the article 'Introduction : God's Counterfeiters ? Investigating the Triad of Fascism, Totalitarianism and (Political) Religion. Best of British to you and your hobbies.

Thats the first intelligent response i've had on YouTube. So, thanks for the heads up, and, seeing as you dont seem to be the usual type of person i meet who expresses himself solely with a combination of expletives and rhetoric, ill definitely check out that paper. Should be on informaworld with a bit of luck........
Peace out

Thanks for posting this - very interesting rare piece of film and supposedly the only film of Elgar talking, conducting with audio. Interesting to note that he seemed to have a rather basic conducting style...

@jonnybignote : Maybe too subtle for you to notice ?

Anyone learning to play this peice on the cello must really suck if they have to "learn" this. Or, hopefully you are eight years old.
