Elgar - Symphony No. 2 (7/7)
Moderato e maestoso (2/2)
This movement is probably my favourite from the symphony. Especially the last four minutes or so, so beautiful, but right at the end, so unresolved. Please, I beg you listen to it! Please tell me your opinion of this amazing piece!
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!
