I've read some the the comments here about the 3rd symphony. These comments could also be applied to Robert Walker's realisation of the Elgar fragments as "The Piano Concerto". I for one was impressed with RW's work on this, but after the controversy surrounding it maybe it was better left as Elgar's "unfinished work"
Lovely tribute, Kev3542 - and set to one of Elgar's sweetest little pieces, a musical portrait of his cairn terrier. Apropos the Elgar/Payne Symphony, I had the privilege of being at the first public performance and found the work deeply moving, especially the slow movement. For all that it's a musical hybrid, I for one am glad that Anthony Payne was able to compose his realisation of the sketches. PS I live only a few hundred yards from Elgar's grave and haven't heard the old boy spinning yet!
I knew this was by Elgar! Just a few bars of any great composer and one knows who it is.
Someone recommended David Copperfield so I looked for an old BBC production. I always associated this melody with the lovely production, characterful actors and the happy outcome of David Copperfield and the girl he really loved. A time when TV was innocent without all the violence, sex and swearing. Fits the sweet music which brings a tear to my eyes.
I just finished your grandfather's book and I found it utterly charming and a gold mine of information about Elgar. Wulstan himself seems to have been a marvellous individual. Did he ever mention Vera Hockman the woman with whom Elgar had a late, and rather sweet flirtation? She was the muse of the Third Symphony, I believe!
A year on, I often return to this delightful video, which deserves far more hits than it receives. Overall, the Youtube community does not really do Elgar proud, I am afraid!
Thank you very much indeed. I suppose you're right in saying that there aren't a huge amount of Elgar related videos on Youtube, although one of my favourites is the "Edward Elgar Footage" video posted by nankipoo.
