Thoughts on Elgar:
- I'm not sure that I will be able to get past the imperialist absurdities of the masque to give "The Crown of India" a fair hearing.
- I would count myself lucky if I were never to hear any more "Pomp and Circumstance' ever again.
- the cello concerto never fails to move me.
- I love the Sea Slumber song from "Sea Pictures".

Of course there is so much more to Elgar, but I just wanted to get these thoughts off my chest.
