A portrait in words and music of the great English composer who died 50 years ago, on 23 February 1934 with Julian Glover as Edward Elgar
Narrator John Rowe
The Great War shattered Elgar's spirit. He wrote some patriotic music but expressed his more personal feelings in a children's musical, The Starlight Express, which took him back to his own fondly remembered childhood more than half a century before, and the Cello Concerto. When Lady Elgar died in 1920 he was inconsolable. The last years were desolate indeed. The creative spark failed to ignite; works were begun which would never be completed, including a new symphony commissioned by the BBC. But although his music was now out of fashion there were those who recognised its true worth, notably Bernard Shaw. with CAROLE BOYD.

Last July the Stock
Exchange accepted the principle that brokers should no longer be paid fixed commissions for their services.
Within weeks not just the brokers, but all the money men who deal with them were furiously selling out and buying up bits of each other. Why has the prospect of ending a cosy restrictive practice provoked such turmoil? What is at stake for the City, for the country and for investors? Presenter
