Elgar's Hidden Years

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

A second chance to hear these two programmes of woodwind quintets by the 21-year-old Elgar. In the first programme MICHAEL KENNEDY introduces some of the shorter pieces from the period:
... tiny unpretentious fragments containing little or nothing identifiably Elgarian, but full of bubbling wit and formidable technical know-how.
(EDWARD GREENFIELD ,
THE GUARDIAN)
Five Intermezzi; Andante cantabile; Gavotte; Sarabande; Six Promenades
ATHENA ENSEMBLE
