Presenter Brian Widlake

The last of three programmes
A portrait in words and music of the great English composer who died 50 years ago with Julian Glover as Edward Elgar
Narrator John Rowe
The Great War shattered Elgar's spirit and 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 , NIGEL GRAHAM , JOHN LTVESEY ,
ALLAN MCCLELLAND , KATHERINE PARR and PETER WICKHAM
