Elgar - Symphony No. 2 (5/7)
Rondo: Presto
I always enjoy listening to this movement. It is so happy and joyful. I hope you enjoy it, please let me know your opinion!
As well as paying tribute to Elgar in these videos, we also are paying respect to the fantastic conductor, Sir Edward Downes who died recently. He commited assisted suicide with his wife, Lady Joan Downes, in Switzerland, 10th July 2009. Rest in Peace.
It is a fantastic performance!
