Elgar’s Rondo by David Pownall
In an English country garden Elgar is hiding away from failure, heartbroken by the bad reception given to his second symphony. Only three years he had been hailed as England’s answer to Beethoven and loaded with honors. Although the piano-tuner’s son is now famous, knighted and wealthy, he cannot rise above criticism of the one piece of music he has written that is most detectably him. He receives sympathy from every quarter – his wife, his ghosts, his dream-woman, his priest, his friends, even his king.
Sunday Feature, 10.45pm
Elgar and Empire
In the 150th anniversary of Elgar's birth in June 2007, the historian, Tristram Hunt explores how Elgar articulated the Victorian notion of Empire: its triumph and decline. For many the image of Elgar is defined by Land of Hope and Glory, the composer of the Empire. But this feature explores different theories about Elgar's imperialist sympathies: how the appropriation of his music did not always reflect his own views, his admiration for Germanic culture and his feelings of being an outsider as a catholic, but also his concern with social status and his role as the "national" composer of works such as Imperial March and the Crown of India. Tristram Hunt presents the composer in his time through letters, critics' reviews and archive. Contributors include eminent historians, Bernard Porter, John MacKenzie and Jeffrey Richards and the conductor Mark Elder.

In the week marking Elgar’s 150th anniversary, four distinguished commentators reflect of aspects of Elgar in the context of his time and after, and explore the contradictions and enigmas in his complex and paradoxical personality.
Monday 4 June – Elgar and Academe
Elgar was appointed the first Peyton Professor of Music at Birmingham University in 1905 and in a series of lectures outlined, among other things, his view of a future for English Music. Julian Rushton takes this as his staring point, to examine Elgar’s relationship with the musical academic world both during his lifetime and afterwards.
Tuesday 5 June - Elgar and Religion
The first performance of Elgar’s masterpiece ‘The Dream of Gerontius’ was given a notoriously inadequate first performance, which may have undermined Elgar’s Catholic faith. Stephen Hough, himself a Catholic, wonders how deeply Elgar’s faith was rooted.
Wednesday 6 June – Elgar and the Establishment.
Elgar was the son of a local Worcester shop-keeper, yet became a pillar of The Establishment as Sir Edward Elgar of Broadheath, OM. David Cannadine, Professor of British History, University of London reflects on the images Elgar himself fostered and cultivated of himself and how far these are relevant or helpful today.
Thursday 7 June – Elgar and Englishness
Ernest Newman described Elgar’s music as expressive of ‘the very soul of our race’.
Nalini Ghuman argues that the critical obsession with identifying in Elgar’s music an essential Englishness has separated the music from the mainstream and confined it within the nation’s boundaries.

Edward Elgar: Elgar's Landscapes
Monday 11-15 June, 12.00-1.00pm
Donald Macleod is joined by Stephen Johnson for an exploration of the beautiful landscapes of Herefordshire and Worcestershire that inspired much of Elgar's greatest music.
Together they climb the Malvern Hills right to the top of the Herefordshire Beacon, which inspired Elgar's Caracticus, and descend to the environs of Worcester, where Elgar grew up and returned to, in spirit, in many of his later works. Elgar's hobby of cycling inspired a number of pieces and many of his friends from the Enigma Variations were keen, fellow cyclists.
