Drama on 3: Elgar's Rondo

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Elgar Season
By David Pownall. The reaction to Eigar's Second Symphony, and to the Rondo in particular, only heighten the doubts and fears that have plagued the composer for much of his creative life. As he struggles to express in music the horror of the First
World War, his family and admirers endeavour to help him re-ignite his creative spark.
Director Martin Jenkins
