Relayed from The Pavilion, Bournemouth
Elgar is a Worcestershire man and no Cockney, but that he loves the City is plain from his conception of Cockaigne. He has in this work mirrored many phases of the City's life and has recorded the beating of the City's heart. The dignity of London, its gaiety, its citizens, from the pair of lovers in the park to the whistling street urchin, the Guards band on the march, the Salvation Army, the quiet of a City church, the bustle of the streets - all, and a hundred other things, are set forth in the music.
